http://www.onion-router.net/History.html

covers what I said and then some, basically gives a brief history
roughly 1995-2005. Althought the site seems to be down right now.

A more indepth discussion of the design evolution and the reasoning
behind it (but less blow-by-blow than the above) is covered in

http://www.acsac.org/2011/program/keynotes/syverson.pdf

which I already pointed at in this thread. Again more focus on the
first decade of onion routing than the last several years.

aloha,
