Anyone with a hint?

The need behind this question is this:

I’m using the FFmpeg library to write live video to a server using RTMP (in a flv container).

When the network connection (internet) is not fast enough to process all the data in time, the internal buffer will fill up. I want to know when this is happening to let the encoder adjust.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks,
