Name	Type	Description
AggregatorBase	compound module	Base module for packet aggregation. Collects multiple packets and combines them into a single aggregated packet based on a configurable aggregation policy. Aggregation improves network efficiency by reducing header overhead when transmitting multiple small packets. The module delegates the aggregation decision to a policy class or module that determines if a packet can be aggregated with the current set.
