Hello Omani,
This is not a 'message passing framework.' It's a program to establish direct TCP connections between peers. Existing solutions are largely based on mesh networks where messages reach nodes via one or more links. As you can imagine, this approach isn't suitable for all use-cases. Imagine a game server where you want your friends to connect to it. They should be able to make a direct TCP connection to the server with the lowest latency possible.
Currently, its hard to run servers on regular home networks where uses are behind NATs and firewalls. The goal of this project is to facilitate direct TCP connections. The software implements many improvements that are only in computer science papers at the moment. In the process of implementing such papers over 20k lines of code have been written, covering everything from NAT enumeration to automated port forwarding. Neither of the links you posted solve all these problems.
The blog goes into a higher overview of the project if you read it. Cheers.
