In-Depth MDT Process Question

Hi All, I'm in the midst of building my first reference image and my brain keeps coming back to a question I can't seem to find any info on. I've looked through no telling how many web pages/articles and don't see any mention of it. 

When you kick off a deployment, are the scripts in MDT (ztigather,ztiutility,ltisuspend, etc) and application installers, the image, basically the deployment share,all downloaded locally and THEN run? Or does the process look at cs.ini/task sequence and then run the needed script for a particular step across the network one at a time as needed? Meaning, the image only downloads when it is called, any apps and their source files are installed across the network as they are called. 

I hope some of that makes sense, and it probably isn't even something I HAVE to know. More curiosity at this point. I think what I'm wondering is when you start a deployment, will it be a constant stream of bandwidth being used the entire time the deployment is happening, or does it download everything at the beginning and then run it locally so the bandwidth usage time is shorter?
