  • Pure source routing, no latency negotiating onion layers, all done via session purchase.
  • Because of source routing, there can be embedded onions inside packets that follow arbitrary paths back to the sender, like traceroute for tcp/ip, meaning there can be strong latency minimisation guarantees and long living connections, two things that are painful with Tor's telescoping model.
