See full text

Techniques for compressing a set of input addresses to generate a set of one or more rules for various network applications and tools such as routers, firewalls, and others. A tree is generated based upon a set of input addresses. A set of one or more rules may be generated based upon the generated tree and a tolerance value. The set of one or more rules may identify one or more address segments that include the input addresses and may also include one or more additional addresses. In one embodiment, the set of one or more rules may be one or more Classless Internet Domain Routing (CIDR) expressions. The set of one or more rules may be provided to various network applications and tools for further processing.
