When playing DLNA video on Chromecast with VLC player, is video traffic proxied through VLC, or goes directly to Chromecast?

Question

Video

If you run VLC on Android, select a video from a DLNA (UPnP) network source, and then click on the Chromecast icon (in the player itself) and start broadcasting to Chromecast, then the video stream will go
a) directly from the DLNA server to Chromecast (which is ideologically correct; so for example done in Youtube)
