    There is an overhead with every stream, so if you encoded at 256 Kbps the bandwidth required would actually be slightly higher.

    This is a useful tool to calculate your actual bandwidth requierments per stream:

    Basing it on 256 Kbps, the calculation is as follows:

    100 Mbps = 100,000 Kbps

    100,000 / 256 =  390 simultaneous connections

    Thank you for the simplest answer I've read all night.
