Well, it's not a science as you can see. The 4 clients for source is an arbitrary number and the 100 kbps for each connection is more than is usually is.

This page describes our recomendations to add an slave server to giss network.
It's based on our experience and the actual requirements of the icecast master/slave infrastructure to allow all the mountpoints in use at one time.
Recomendations to add an icecast slave server to relay all mountpoints
This params works in the courrent situation where we have an stable 25/30 sources at the same time in giss, but that sometimes increase to about 40.
Bandwidth: minimum 20 mbps dedicated up/down
Monthly Transfer: 2TB / month
Server Software: as described in Servers Configuration
Server Hardware: 2,4 Ghz CPU / 512 RAM
And to add an icecast slave server to relay only some mountpoints
If you have X bandwidth and you want to join your server to giss, we recomend to tune icecast params like this:
X bandwith in kbps / 100 kbps (aprox for each connection) = max clients param in icecast conf max clients param in icecast conf / 4 (clients by source) )= max sources param in icecast conf
If you have monthly transfer limits in your server you should know that one slave with about 25 sources online at the same time consumes each day about 30GB, so 1TB at month.
This way you can tune params in icecast like this:
X GB monthly transfer allowed / 40 = max sources param in icecast max sources param in icecast * 4 (clients by source) = max clients param in icecast conf
Well, it's not a science as you can see. The 4 clients for source is an arbitrary number and the 100 kbps for each connection is more than is usually is. So take this notes only as an aproximation. ;)
