The comments in the code for “sendDataOverTCP()” explain this very clearly:

        // The blocking "send()" failed, or timed out.  In either case, we assume that the 
	// TCP connection has failed (or is 'hanging' indefinitely), and we stop using it
	// (for both RTP and RTP).
	// (If we kept using the socket here, the RTP or RTCP packet write would be in an
	//  incomplete, inconsistent state.)

But again, your real problem is that you are trying to send data at a rate that exceeds the capacity of your network.  You need to stop doing that.
