I came across the garlic routing section (8.1.1) in Roger's Master's thesis: https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/86475/46861930-MIT.pdf?sequence=2. I am not sure whether current Tor version is using garlic routing or just onion routing? Please correct me if I say anything wrong.

No, Tor does not use garlic routing as defined here.

1The URL you provided defines garlic routing. Tor doesn't do that.– pastlyCommented May 25, 2018 at 13:10

I don't think Roger's thesis is the origin of Tor design, but that's not important. What's important is that the answer is NO Tor does not use garlic routing– pastlyCommented May 25, 2018 at 13:41
A node then finds several garlic bulbs to transmit, instead of the normal single onion.
No. Currently, Tor is based on a strict (original) onion routing model, in which one stream can only be attached onto one and only one circuit.
