Title:
  [RFE] bgp-route-aggregation

Status in neutron:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  [Existing problem]
  Current BGP dynamic routing proposal [1]_ doesn't have support for route aggregation. Route aggregation could be extremely useful in reducing the size of the routing table and improves CPU utilization [2]_.

  [Proposal]
  - Add route-aggregation support to BGP dynamic routing.

  [Benefits]
  - Route aggregation is good as it reduces the size, and slows the growth, of the Internet routing table.
  - Amount of resources (e.g., CPU and memory) required to process routing information is reduced and route calculation is sped up. 
  - Route flaps becomes limited in number

  [What is the enhancement?]
  - - Additional API, CLI and DB model will be added.
