Re: aggregation tool wanted

        I once started a project that would do this, which would
allow realtime aggregation by speaking ebgp to a router.  I've not had
time to play with it too much, but it does bring up a bgp session and
receive routes properly.

        If I ever finish it, I'll run it and put up a telnet/http interface
to it.

        I would also check out Tony Bates CIDR report, as you can do
interesting things with that data, it will tell you if you can
aggregatte better.

unfortunately, the actual data as paths can differ

    155.162.0.0/15   2914
    155.164.0.0/14   2914

so, what i would like is a tool which takes something like the latter syntax
and tells me what the origin ass could aggregate.  i.e. i am specifically
not inclined to proxy aggregation at this point.

So in this case, all you'd get back is:

     133.10.0.0       2914 2907
     133.11.0.0       2914 2907 2501
     155.162.0.0/15   2914
     155.164.0.0/14   2914

because the origin AS for each block couldn't aggregate the above blocks
further?

correct.

What is CIDRadvisor? A lookup in some search engines doesn't turn up
anything...

part of RAToolset
