Inserting streaming software is not beneficial in this case. I can
advise to use "TCP interleaved" mode of RTSP protocol, if both
listening and publishing sides of ffmpeg support it. This will avoid
potential loss of data packets via UDP.
Also think about temporal connection break. Ensure your ffmpeg
instances get restarted and reconnected.
