If the sending node of a payment has selected a path that is supposed to be used to make the payment, the Lightning Network uses an onion routing scheme similar to the famous TOR-network.
The routing scheme is called the "SPHINX mixformat" and will be explained in detail in a later chapter.
Note that Lightning Onion routing via "SPHINX mixformat" is only similar to the TOR network routing in conecpt, but as a protocol as well as in implementation it is definitely different from the TOR network.
Note that Lightning Onion routing via "SPHINX mixformat" is only similar to the TOR network routing in concept, but as a protocol as well as in implementation it is definitely different from the TOR network.
For now we want to focus on its properties for the transport of payments.
A payment package used for routing is called an "onion".
footnote:[The term "onion" was originally used by the TOR project.
