Abstract
In this work, we devise an aggregation method based on overlapped path tunnel. This aggregation method can be used to adjust the maximum number of forwarding entries to an acceptable value. In this work, we show the effectiveness of the aggregation method using a manual way. In the future, we will study the automatic way of establishing tunnels to limit the maximum number of entries to an acceptable value.
