Address Aggregation

Address aggregation is a technique used in networking to combine multiple individual IP addresses into a single, larger address range. This simplifies routing by allowing internet devices to manage fewer, bigger blocks instead of many small ones. For example, instead of handling many separate addresses, a network can present one aggregated address that covers all of them. This reduces the complexity of routing tables, speeds up data transfer, and enhances overall network efficiency. Essentially, address aggregation streamlines how addresses are organized and managed across large networks.
