Networks interruptions happen a lot, this is why our system is hybrid: if you didn't have time to get the segment from the peer-to-peer, you dynamically switch back to the CDN to get the missing parts of your video segments, so in practice the quality can't be worse than what you have with the CDN only.

I have to wonder at the claim of no added latency then? By the time the peer fails, and the CDN is queried and responds, the replay stream would have passed the point where it needed that frame. Unless the reassembly/replay engine is running substantially behind realtime.
