  • Method and apparatus for generating a set of aggregates
    Patent number: 7904571
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating at least one aggregate (e.g., a set of aggregates) for a given area of a network such that the number of aggregates is minimized subject to a maximum acceptable path selection error are disclosed. One operational benefit of the present method is that network administrators can select aggregates for an area based solely on the topology of the area without worrying about remaining areas of the OSPF network. Another benefit is that the present method enables trade-offs between the number of aggregates and the bound on the path selection error.
