The main objective of streaming is provide a remote file that is
seekable as one locally stored (or even better considering some
container formats..) . A fairly used implementation of the concept is
RTP, that you can see as a network container format that you can seek
with an enough fine granularity and a more (or less) small latency.

Most of the problems are network related (avoid fragmentation of
datagrams, make sure you can sync within a relatively small time,
dynamically switch the payload if the network profile change...).

If you want a rtp/rtsp streaming server implementation that's JUST that.
