If you are trying to stream a video whose bitrate exceeds the 
capacity of your network, then there's not much you can do - other 
than reducing the bitrate of your video (i.e., reencoding it).

If you are streaming MPEG-1 or 2 video, then you can reduce the 
bitrate by streaming I-frames only (search for "iFramesOnly" in the 
code).

No - RTCP has nothing to do with this.  Your video's bitrate is just 
too high for your network.
