Source + Server = Stream
Lose either the source or the server, then no stream.

What bitrate do you intend to stream at?
The NetShow tools, I believe, allow you to broadcast at lower bitrates.

Check out the Sticky post titled...

Scroll down a bit and look for the section titled...
1. DNAS Stuff -> Bandwidth -> DSLReports Bandwidth tester(Only be concerned with the UPLOAD bandwidth)
2. DNAS Stuff -> Bandwidth -> CasterClub's Listener Calculator
3. DNAS Stuff -> Bandwidth -> CasterClub's Bandwidth Calculator

Use 1. to determine your upload. Use your upload and 2. to determine the number of listseners you can support at the bitrate you want to stream at.
