The _simplest_ solution would be to mandate the use of a TCP-based TURN server to terminate the traffic, but basically all RTP stacks are designed with fixed-size buffers and other resource limits, and when these are exceeded they will simply discard data. So even this "simple" solution would require a vast engineering effort to produce "reliably" transmitted data in a format that almost no non-real-time software could consume (requiring all services to convert it into something else on their own).
