INTER-DOMAIN ROUTER COMPRISING A MODULE FOR DETERMINING ROUTE AGGREGATION

摘要

The invention relates to an inter-domain router (R) for an Internet protocol (IP) communications network, comprising: (i) processing means (MT) for generating outgoing messages as a function of routing data, which are intended for other routers and which comprise information data representative of routes for the routing of IP datagrams; and (ii) control means (MC) for analysing at least some of the routing data in order to define route aggregates as a function of selected configuration information and for delivering output data representative of the route aggregates, such that the processing means (MT) can generate outgoing messages comprising information data representative of said route aggregates.
