  5.         .DESCRIPTION
  6.                 The Get-BogonList script retrieves the bogon prefix list maintained by Team Cymru.
  7.                
  8.                 A bogon prefix is a route that should never appear in the Internet routing table.
  9.                 A packet routed over the public Internet (not including over VPNs or other tunnels) should never have a source address in a bogon range.
  10.                 These are commonly found as the source addresses of DDoS attacks. Bogons are defined as Martians (private and reserved addresses defined by RFC 1918 and RFC 3330) and
  11.                 netblocks that have not been allocated to a regional internet registry (RIR) by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.
  12.                
  13.         .PARAMETER Aggregated
  14.                 By default the unaggregated bogon list is retrieved. Use this switch parameter to retrieve the aggregated list.
