As far as the design goes, it is most similar to I2P's protocol. I
have only read (most of) the original whitepaper[0] so far, and AFAICT
at a high level it is almost identical to I2P, except for a few
specific points (e.g. using IPv4 for identifying anonymizing paths,
and bidirectional circuit-switched tunnels).

It is an interesting protocol. I am reviewing the whitepapers, and
intend to publish a comparison page on the I2P website[1] once I have
a good understanding of the differences.
