Just use the "-b <buffer-size>" option to "openRTSP"; see 
<http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/#other-options>

I hope you realize, though, that JPEG is a very poor codec for video 
streaming, because each frame is so large (and so takes up many 
network packets).  If *any* of these network packets gets lost, then 
the whole frame must be discarded.
