• Circuits are built where some number of peers only know about their immediate neighbor in the circuit with the original messages being layered with encryption (as in Onion Routing.)
• Onion routing sends single packets for a single client through a circuit.
• Garlic Routing (Freedman) bundles multiple packets from multiple clients on the same circuit.
• Tunnels are unidirectional: clients need a circuit to send and a separate circuit to receive.
