Compact Histograms for Hierarchical Identifiers

Summary: Compact histograms as partitioning functions model hierarchical UIDs (e.g., IPs), enabling bandwidth-efficient group-aggregates over large lookup tables. Three novel partitioning families use single-identifier buckets and distributive-error optimization; they scale to multiple hierarchies and yield higher accuracy per bit on real network data.
