## Description

Project-Lightspeed is a low-latency video relay and WebRTC live streaming server. It functions as an OBS streaming backend that ingests media streams and converts them for real-time playback in web browsers.

The system operates as a WebSocket stream orchestrator, managing connection handshakes and stream authentication to coordinate signaling between the server and the client browser. It utilizes a high-speed protocol to achieve sub-second delay between the broadcast source and the viewer.

The server covers media relay capabilities, including network packet relaying and the ingestion of video streams. It also includes security features such as hash-based stream authentication and the generation of secure stream keys to prevent unauthorized broadcasts.
