Hello,

The size of the packet on the network is independent of the packet
size at the output of the video codec. For example, when streaming
MPEG2-TS over ethernet, each ethernet packet (~1500 bytes) contains
7 MPEG2-TS packets (each of size 188 bytes). The receiver will 
correctly separate the 7 MPEG2-TS packets and process them 
one-by-one.

Does this help?
