Hi, I made tools to aggregate prefix lists, repo is here: https://gitlab.com/qratorlabs/plag There are two tools: plageq - makes strictly equal aggregation of prefixes plagmax - maximally aggregates, discarding subsets They should be already quite useful, so everybody is welcome to use them and leave feedback. I have only found some alternatives available: 1) https://github.com/job/aggregate6 This is almost the same, but it is very slow for big lists and eats zillion bytes of memory. My tools need only a couple of seconds for lists of ~2M prefixes and around ~100M of memory (including spare memory, which is not used, total amount is fixed at compile time now) 2) bgpq4 can also do aggregation while fetching the prefix list. It does it fast too, but it is not perfect. My tool on the other hand generates perfect minimization in case of plagmax. And I suppose minimal possible number of lines in case of plageq (actually it is depth-limited in config now, but for deeper depthes there should be extreme number of prefixes in the list) Here are some examples, comparing it to bgpq4. bgpq4 spends most of the time requesting prefix lists and waiting for a response, so do not pay much attention to its times. # time bgpq4 -4 -F '%n/%l\n' AS2914:AS-GLOBAL >ntt4.0 real 0m 30.38s user 0m 4.29s sys 0m 0.32s # time bgpq4 -4 -A -F '%n/%l{%a,%A}\n' AS2914:AS-GLOBAL >ntt4.eb real 0m 30.41s user 0m 3.98s sys 0m 0.24s # time bgpq4 -4 -A -R 32 -r 1 -F '%n/%l\n' AS2914:AS-GLOBAL >ntt4.mb real 0m 31.71s user 0m 3.94s sys 0m 0.22s # time ./plag/plageq <ntt4.0 >ntt4.ep max nodes: 29.03%, 3044261 / 10485760, 34.84MB / 120.00MB real 0m 0.97s user 0m 0.94s sys 0m 0.03s # time ./plag/plagmax <ntt4.0 >ntt4.mp max nodes: 2.83%, 296843 / 10485760, 2.26MB / 80.00MB real 0m 0.47s user 0m 0.44s sys 0m 0.02s # time bgpq4 -6 -F '%n/%l\n' AS2914:AS-GLOBAL-v6 >ntt6.0 real 0m 7.25s user 0m 1.44s sys 0m 0.03s # time bgpq4 -6 -A -F '%n/%l{%a,%A}\n' AS2914:AS-GLOBAL-v6 >ntt6.eb real 0m 7.14s user 0m 1.22s sys 0m 0.06s # time bgpq4 -6 -A -R 128 -r 1 -F '%n/%l\n' AS2914:AS-GLOBAL-v6 >ntt6.mb real 0m 8.04s user 0m 1.26s sys 0m 0.04s # time ./plag/plageq <ntt6.0 >ntt6.ep max nodes: 11.38%, 1192943 / 10485760, 13.65MB / 120.00MB real 0m 0.40s user 0m 0.37s sys 0m 0.02s # time ./plag/plagmax <ntt6.0 >ntt6.mp max nodes: 2.57%, 269912 / 10485760, 2.06MB / 80.00MB real 0m 0.22s user 0m 0.19s sys 0m 0.03s # cat ntt4.0 ntt6.0 | shuf | time ./plag/plageq >ntt.ep max nodes: 40.41%, 4237202 / 10485760, 48.49MB / 120.00MB real 0m 2.44s user 0m 2.20s sys 0m 0.07s # cat ntt4.0 ntt6.0 | shuf | time ./plag/plagmax >ntt.mp max nodes: 10.16%, 1065244 / 10485760, 8.13MB / 80.00MB real 0m 1.33s user 0m 1.04s sys 0m 0.04s And here are number of lines in the resulted files: 2038959 ntt4.0 <- unaggregated ipv4 prefixes 414558 ntt4.eb <- bgpq4 equal set 395831 ntt4.ep <- plag equal set 128522 ntt4.mb <- bgpq4 minimal 99794 ntt4.mp <- plag minimal 540047 ntt6.0 <- unaggregated ipv6 prefixes 80764 ntt6.eb <- bgpq4 equal set 79875 ntt6.ep <- plag equal set 38193 ntt6.mb <- bgpq4 minimal 38023 ntt6.mp <- plag minimal
