Public bug reported: [Existing problem] Current BGP dynamic routing proposal [1]_ doesn't have support for route aggregation. Route aggregation could be extremely useful in reducing the size of the routing table and improves CPU utilization [2]_.
[Proposal] - Add route-aggregation support to BGP dynamic routing. [Benefits] - Route aggregation is good as it reduces the size, and slows the growth, of the Internet routing table. - Amount of resources (e.g., CPU and memory) required to process routing information is reduced and route calculation is sped up. - Route flaps becomes limited in number [What is the enhancement?] - - Additional API, CLI and DB model will be added.
