Abstract
A contributor-aggregator network configuration disclosed herein automates aggregation of network prefixes allocated to an autonomous system for a border network element dubbed a 'contributor.' The contributor advertises allocated network prefixes to an aggregator network element “aggregator” and additionally identifies and encodes aggregation length parameters according to a routing protocol in the advertisements that indicate how to aggregate network prefixes. The aggregator advertises aggregated network prefixes identified based on the encoded parameters to its peers to reduce overall load by simplifying routing and advertisement to the aggregated network prefixes.
