No, the “packet” here are the “coordination packets” that I mention in the document. They are information that is sent to routers so they get to cooperate for some purpose. For now, the only purpose that they can agree upon is “build a tunnel”.

This anonymity layer uses UDP-like packets to create coordination between routers (which can refuse to cooperate by dropping packets) and TCP-like streams to transmit data.

Okay, that’s a routing protocol. You’re designing a routing protocol and a session layer protocol. I was misled because you put ‘contents’ in the middle of your routing encapsulation; so I reasonably assumed this was the payload of all the data being sent.
