>Would a larger MTU likely help?

No, this is a bad idea (and won't solve your problem anyway, if your 
input source is really generating data too fast).  If the MTU is too 
large, you'll get IP-level fragmentation, increasing the chances of 
unrecoverable packet loss.

Our "MPEG2TransportStreamFramer" class automatically paces the 
outgoing Transport Stream data properly, based on its PCR timestamps. 
If your input source is generating data too fast for this, then 
perhaps its PCR timestamps are wrong?
