[Icecast] Help for 5000 clients server + 50 sources

[Brandon Casci]

Take the maximum number of listeners you want, multiply that by the bitrate
you'll be streaming it, and you'll have an idea what you peak bandwidth
could be.

I have a server with hundreds of sources and nearly 1000 outgoing
connections. It;s rock steady. You don't need a power house. You're dealing
with intense network throughput, but not so much memory or CPU utilization.
