Ok I will need to build several computers to test it, including routing 
to simulate wide lan.

The goal is to make live streaming, so the original stream should come 
from a cam or a webcam, through the video4linux2 kernel module.
mpeg4 or flv (mp3 for audio) could be a good compromise, perhaps ?
Or should it be better to use ogg theora+vorbis

I believe that customers will useVLC to see the result.
