Marco Marzetti (PCCW) wrote an even faster compression tool!

    https://github.com/lamehost/aggregate-prefixes

Both these python implementations are meant as replacements for ISC's
vintage 'aggregate' Unix utility, with the notable difference that they
also support IPv6.

Example:

    job at bench ~$ pip3 install aggregate-prefix

    job at bench ~$ wc -l dfz_ipv4
    810607
    job at bench ~$ cat dfz_ipv4 | time aggregate-prefixes - | wc -l
    141645
    1m40.17s real     1m37.39s user     0m01.60s system

Compressing the whole IPv4 DFZ prefix list takes only 100 seconds.

Kind regards,

Job
