As the first step in the protocol, Bob (the onion service) contacts a bunch of Tor relays and asks them to act as his _introduction points_, by establishing long-term circuits to them.
These circuits are anonymized circuits, so Bob does not reveal his locations to his introduction points.

In general, the complete connection between client and onion service consists of 6 relays: 3 of them were picked by the client with the third being the rendezvous point and the other 3 were picked by the onion service.
