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.<br><br>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.<br>

Assuming you can push the network traffic out, any modern server should be fine.<br>
<br>
Whether you can handle this much network traffic will depend on what<br>
bitrate you're running your streams at, and what sort of outbound<br>
internet connectivity you have.<br>
