The horizon is fixed and small, so it would be suitable for a darknet. 
They don't give details of the local routing protocol but any proactive 
ad hoc protocol would do.

The message overhead for inserts/requests is O(sqrt(n)), but the delay 
is only O(log(n)^k) for a wide range of graphs because it uses parallel 
inserts/requests.

On the other hand you can achieve O(sqrt(n)) message overhead simply by 
floooding every insert and request to the nearest sqrt(n) nodes, and the 
expected delay will also be O(log(n)) for a wide range of graphs 
(including regular random graphs, scale-free graphs and Kleinberg small 
worlds), so I'm not sure how impressed I am...

Cheers,
Michael
