Claim Text:
1. A method for implementing routing aggregation, comprising: sending, by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) server, a message to a DHCPv6 relay agent, wherein the DHCPv6 relay agent comprises one of a plurality of DHCPv6 relay agents, the aggregated routing destination address information is generated according to information about a prefix pool by the DHCPv6 server, wherein the prefix pool comprises a plurality of address prefixes and is divided into a plurality of parts which are assigned to the plurality of DHCPv6 relay agents, the prefix pool is shared by a plurality of requesting routers under the plurality of DHCPv6 relay agents, such that the DHCPv6 relay agent generates an aggregated routing of requesting router prefix routings according to aggregation routing destination address information in the message; wherein the aggregated routing destination address information comprises information about an aggregated prefix of address prefixes in a part, which is assigned to the DHCPv6 relay agent, of the prefix pool, and wherein the requesting router prefix routings comprise routings with address prefixes of requesting routers under the DHCPv6 relay agent as destination addresses, and the aggregated routing of requesting router prefix routings comprises a routing with the aggregated prefix as a destination address.
