Depends on what level your talking.
Its simple enough to setup one server to use, and people just connect to a stream.. Shoutcast style...
The next step is where you have the one live server, which then feeds off to n number of relay servers, to distriute the load (geographically and server load wise)
and the next step above that is the same again, one uploads to multi relay servers, which upload to multiple public facing realys.
Software wise, you can do it using anything, Real Server ($$$) Windows Media Encoder (£free), Shoutcast with winamp (£free initially)
Like anything, its cheap and simple to do cheaply and simply, its expensive and complex to do Large Scale Properly.
We host several Large Streaming Companies, whom I can put you in touch with Should you need.
thnx
