CIDR Aggregator
What is a CIDR Aggregator?
Merge and summarize multiple adjacent, overlapping, or redundant IPv4 CIDR blocks (e.g. `192.168.0.0/24` and `192.168.1.0/24` -> `192.168.0.0/23`) into the absolute minimal set of subnets.
Why Use This Tool?
- BGP Route Summarization: Summarize long lists of IP subnets into compact routing table entries.
- Firewall Rule Cleanup: Consolidate hundreds of individual IP subnet rules into minimal CIDR lists for Cloudflare, AWS, or iptables.
- Network Optimization: Eliminate redundant overlapping IP entries.
How to Use
- Paste a list of IPv4 addresses or CIDR subnets (one per line or comma-separated).
- Click "Aggregate CIDR Blocks".
- View collapsed minimal CIDR list and percentage reduction ratio.
Real Working Example
Input:
Subnets: 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.3.0/24
Output Result:
Aggregated CIDR Result: 192.168.0.0/22 | Reduction: 4 rules reduced to 1 optimal rule (-75%)
Important Technical Details & Standards
- Trie / Binary Tree Aggregation Algorithm: Builds a binary prefix trie to merge contiguous power-of-two sibling subnets.
- Redundant Subnet Pruning: Automatically strips smaller subnets that are completely contained within larger subnets.
- Client-Side Engine: Fast local calculation in browser memory.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does CIDR aggregation work?
It combines adjacent subnets sharing a common binary prefix into a single larger CIDR block.
Can it merge overlapping IP addresses?
Yes, redundant smaller subnets inside larger blocks are pruned automatically.
Is it free?
Yes, 100% free.
How many CIDR blocks can I aggregate at once?
Paste thousands of CIDR blocks to summarize in milliseconds.
Is my network IP list private?
Yes, all CIDR aggregation processes 100% locally inside your web browser.
