What do you mean for aggregating?

Do you mean clustering, that is, grouping the nodes at certain zoom level?

If you mean that, I have to give you a bad news, It is not currently
possible with the Leaflet.MarkerCluster plugin, it only clusters markers
(points), it doesn't cluster nor lines nor polygons.

Clustering lines and polygons would require patching the plugin, but I
fear it's not gonna be straightforward.

It would be useful, but I would not do this on the geographic map, it
would be nice to have a separate view with a graph like that one.

But I would defer this type of work for a later phase.
