Does it stream content from WiFi directly to Chromecast, or from WiFi to Android in Chromecast?

Does the content flow from WiFi directly to Chromecast, or from WiFi to Android (or any other device) to Chromecast?

I know that other devices can be used to control Chromecast, but I just want to know if you can transfer data directly from your mobile phone due to battery life.

The mobile device is used only for the initial phase of content detection , where the user selects a video stream for viewing. Once playback starts, your Chromecast connects to the Internet via WiFi and downloads stream data without having to turn on your mobile device.
