If a given PxTR provider is responsible for originating EID prefixes into the 
DFZ on behalf of their subscribers (LISP Mapping and Proxy services customers) 
want to widen their footprint/capacity of transit of Proxy-ITRs, they can agree 
to exchange these EID-prefixes and announce them on each other's behalf.

So if LISP Mapping/Proxy Provider Foo is originating 172.16.1.0/20 and LISP 
Mapping/Proxy Provider Bar is originating 10.1.1.0/22, and they come to an 
bilateral agreement to share Proxy-ITR capacity they can agree to peer (via, 
for example, eBGP multi-hop) and propagate the prefixes that that the other is 
originating.  Note that the origin AS for these two EID prefixes remains Foo 
and Bar's respectively.

Today some providers are redistributing registered EID prefixes directly via 
their map-servers, and some are using static routes independent of 
redistribution for origination.  (I prefer the latter, but YMMV.)
