+Stateles Mesh Layer (SML)

+As a censor circumvention method layer 4 (udp) or layer 2 (ethernet)
+network bridges are used to stateless route messages to the main onion 
+routing network in a stateless manner such that these network bridges
+can be cacsaded many layers deep. The incentive to run these would be
