The local transfer compresses it with the same format the CDN would use, so if the local PC turns off, it just continues via Valve's servers. The downside is that the compression is quite aggressive. My PC with a 5950X can only go like 300Mbps on local transfer, so the CDN ends up being faster for me since I have gigabit internet and the Deck can get 600 Mbps even over WiFi.
For people with slow Internet speeds, it's obviously a great feature though.
