A decent quality 1080p stream is around 2Mbps minimum. Your pipe needs to be able to sustain that times the number of clients.

My thought was to piggyback off of web rtc and other free software projects already available just to learn more about it. I'll be pretty happy to just get it working so two clients can watch a stream. I was already looking to learn something this summer so this should be a nice place to start. Thanks!
