> A natural question is how this differs from something like Tor. In a nutshell, Tor offers identity protection before you enter a P2P network, and Dandelion offers identity protection inside the P2P network.

My understanding is that TOR also provides the latter - as that is specifically the purpose of the "onion" routing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_routing

Yeah.

I had the impression that onion services are exactly that: protection inside the P2P network.
