(I think the backend is called sunshine). NVidia has given up the development of its streaming backend given that Opensource alternatives took over the protocol, which now makes it a safe bet as well, because NVidia probably never will offer a C&D on those projects for reverse engineering their protocol anymore, which was the biggest fear regarding Moonlight and Sunshine in the past! The only plus Steam link as protocol nowadays has is that it still is an integrated solution which works ootb, Latency etc... are better via moonlight and sunshine nowadays!
