You're not alone -- it's way over my head as well!

Social interactions don't like a lot of latency either
in audio or video (you notice the latency in calls
routed though geostationary comsats), and each mix
cascade adds many 10 ms, at least with current networks.
Things would be much better with much faster networks
and crypto offloaded to hardware.
