Delivery Optimization uses content metadata to verify the content and to determine all available locations to pull content from. 1. When a download starts, the Delivery Optimization client attempts to get its content metadata. This content metadata is a hash file containing the SHA-256 block-level hashes of each piece in the file (typically one piece = 1 MB). 2. The authenticity of the content metadata file itself is verified prior to any content being downloaded using a hash that is obtained via an SSL channel from the Delivery Optimization service. The same channel is used to ensure the content is curated and authorized to use peer-to-peer. 3. When Delivery Optimization pulls a certain piece of the hash from another peer, it verifies the hash against the known hash in the content metadata file. 4. If a peer provides an invalid piece, that piece is discarded. When a peer sends multiple bad pieces, it's banned and will no longer be used as a source by the Delivery Optimization client performing the download. -5. If Delivery Optimization is unable to obtain the content metadata file, or if the verification of the hash file itself fails, the download will fall back to "simple mode”.

If Delivery Optimization is unable to obtain the content metadata file, or if the verification of the hash file itself fails, the download will fall back to simple mode. Simple mode will only pull content from the HTTP source and peer-to-peer won't be allowed. 6. Once downloading is complete, Delivery Optimization uses all retrieved pieces of the content to put the file together.
