This is pure misinformation. 'Most connections are direct, P2P' makes no sense to anyone versed in basic networking.

I don’t mean P2P in the same sense that BitTorrent or something is P2P. (Splitting one connection into many distributed ones) But more like how a game that does P2P multiplayer has the clients connect directly instead of through a centralized service.

What do you mean? P2P is commonplace, for example, in IP telephony, and obviously in many other cases.
