I've been looking into P2P streaming of live content (each viewer also acts as a streaming server to others)

The equioment we use is:
2 Servers both Dual Xeon HT, 2GB RAM (1 web, 1 Streaming or as an encoder for a CDN)
Video Mixer (Newtek's Tricaster)
Computer running DVRack to record the camera feed
Audio Mixer (Behringer UB2442FX)
Cameras (Canon XL-1s)

We have used a T-1, and a T-3 connection so far for internet
I have looked into similar setups before, but if the equipment isnt already owned, it gets very pricy to invest in such equipment. I plan on encoding right at the event then sending straight to Ustream do to their high quality
