I see this as out of scope for this set of requirements (although it's not unlikely that solutions we come up with here can be applicable to this use case).

My suspicion: a wardrobe malfunction buffer - which is actually reasonably common in broadcasting - receives the signal, stores it for a time interval, and sends it again. I would expect that to be two separate data streams, one that among other places goes to it, and one that comes from it to a different set of places. I would expect that congestion control would apply to both of those data streams independently.
