Could you clarify what are Tor knockoffs? Haven't heard about it before and can't find anything useful with these keywords myself.

I've not explored mix networks too much, so my understanding is limited, could you give some links where I can read why? Just to give a bit more context, I'm going to build a network that will only have something similar to Tor's hidden services, namely all of the traffic will be inside of the network. Also bandwidth requirements are expected to be very low and while latency requirements are quite high (only occasionally), it is not critical if there would be several seconds delay sometimes.
