[RouteAggregation] refers to the collection of "adjacent" routes together, in order to shorten the routing tables. It is made possible with ClasslessInterDomainRouting ([CIDR]). |

If you have enough adjacent routes to use a higher prefix, you can use RouteAggregation. For example, if your network has |
|
|
4 |
192.168.0.0/24 |
|
|
5 |
192.168.1.0/24 |
|
|

On different subnets internally, you can advertise the whole lot by using 192.168.0.0/23. A /23 prefix has one less bits than a /24, which is 2 networks - so the 2 adjacent /24 networks starting from 192.168.0.0/24 can be thought of as a single /23 |

Essentially any CIDR prefix can be thought of as the aggregation of all longer prefixes under it: |

192.168.0.0/16 is the aggregation of the 256 192.168.x.0/24 addresses |

A /24 prefix is the aggregation of the 4 /25 prefixes under it |
