I seem to remember an IRC discussion about this.

Basically, the problem was that the max. udp buffer size could not be made big
enough, so if you split a large raw video frame into multiple RTP/UDP packets
to be sent at the same time, you'd basically be guaranteed to drop half of the
data, because the buffer will fill up and we try to send the following packets
immediately. Letting identity timestamp the packets before sending them out
helped.

I believe the conclusion was that it would make sense to implement some kind of
throttling/smoothing in udpsink.

Re-opening this for now. Wim: feel free to close again.
