If you are using ALT, you can also imagine that the PITR will "pre-fetch" the
EID mappings for "all" the EID prefixes announced on the ALT. You thus
have mappings for "all" the potential EID. For this kind of PITR, the only
limit is the price of the box, but you can have distribution or hierarchy of
such PITRs: a CDN of PITR :-D
