ipaggcreate
creates IP address aggregates from network traffic dumps or pcap files
TLDR
Aggregate IP addresses from a dump file
SYNOPSIS
ipaggcreate [options] [files]
DESCRIPTION
ipaggcreate creates IP address aggregates from network traffic dumps or pcap files. It groups IP addresses by configurable criteria such as prefix length, producing summaries of network activity.
This tool is part of the Click modular router suite and works in conjunction with ipsumdump and ipaggmanip for comprehensive network traffic analysis and summarization.
PARAMETERS
-r FILE
Read from pcap file instead of text dump--src
Aggregate by source IP addresses--dst
Aggregate by destination IP addresses--prefix LENGTH
Aggregate using specified prefix length--output FILE
Write output to file instead of stdout--multicast
Include multicast addresses
CAVEATS
Input format must be compatible with ipsumdump output or pcap format. Large capture files may require significant memory for aggregation. Output format is specific to the ipagg tool suite.
HISTORY
Part of the ipsumdump package developed by Eddie Kohler at UCLA and later ICSI. The tool suite was created for network measurement research and released as open source software in the early 2000s.
