 I've search in documentation and source code, but found nothing about
 prefix aggregation. 
 

bgpd does not support aggregation of addresses. After 4 years of bgpd your
the first to request this so don't expect that it changes soon.

I don't think that I'm first person, who request such feature.

 I take a look on the documentation, searched the source-code for  

 anything spelled like aggregate or something like this, but I wasn't  

 lucky. The network-Statement isn't doing aggregating, is it?



njet. we don't have any aggregate code, and you're the first one ever 

to ask :)

I'm sorry, you're the 2nd person to ask for aggregation in bgpd.
I still think that more important things need to be done first especially
since aggregation is considered evil.
E.g. being able to anounce prefixes depening on some state would be more
useful.
