If you are able to stream over UDP, then you should always stream over UDP. (Streaming RTP/RTCP-over-TCP is less data-efficient, and should be done only if you have a firewall - between your server and client - that blocks UDP packets.) Also, as I’ve noted several times on this mailing list, you should encode ‘key frames’ as a sequence of ‘slices’, before streaming them. It sounds like your stream is exceeding - or at least approaching - the data capacity of your WAN. I suggest adjusting your encoder (by changing some combination of the frame size/complexity, and the frame rate) to reduce your stream’s bitrate.
