There is information on where to find mappings and the information in
the mappings themselves.  Where to find mappings is aggregated and
pushed on the ALT.  Map-Reply messages themselves may contain more or
less specific prefixes than those injected into the ALT, but they are
sent directly between replier and requestor.
