Description: aggregate6
        ==========
        
        aggregate6 will compress an unsorted list of IPv6 prefixes.
        
        DESCRIPTION
        -----------
        
        Takes a list of IPv6 prefixes in conventional format on stdin, and performs two
        optimisations to attempt to reduce the length of the prefix list. The first
        optimisation is to remove any supplied prefixes which are superfluous because
        they are already included in another supplied prefix. For example,
        ```2001:67c:208c:10::/64``` would be removed if ```2001:67c:208c::/48``` was
        also supplied.
        
        The second optimisation identifies adjacent prefixes that can be combined under
        a single, shorter-length prefix. For example, ```2001:67c:208c::/48``` and
        ```2001:67c:208d::/48``` can be combined into the single prefix
        2001:67c:208c::/47.
        
        INSTALLATION
        ------------
        
        ```
            $ sudo apt-get install python-dev
            $ sudo pip install aggregate6
        ```
        
        USAGE
        -----
        
        Either provide the list of IPv6 prefixes on STDIN, or give filenames containing
        lists of IPv6 prefixes as arguments.
        
        ```
            $ cat prefix_list | aggregate6
               ... output ...
        
            $ aggregate6 prefix_list [ ... optional_other_prefix_lists ]
               ... output ...
        
            $ echo -e "2001:67c:208c::/48\n2000::/3" | aggregate6
            2000::/3
        ```
