This means what it says.  Your server (in this case, the LIVE555 Proxy Server) has received a frame that is too large for its buffer (100000 bytes).  This is most likely a H.264/H.265 ‘key frame’.

The best solution here is to reconfigure your video source (i.e., your IP camera(s)) to encode each ‘key frame’ as a series of H.264/H.265 slice NAL units, rather than a single, very large NAL unit.

(The worst solution is to increase the size of "OutPacketBuffer::maxSize”.)
