IMHO it's not that easy. Working with h263 and rtp means that you have to follow
some  rules for rtp packetization (rfc 2190 or 2490). They must containt full gobs/slices
in each packet and you must add some payload information (motion vectors, 
gob number, picture type) in it. 

So there is BIG problem if you plan to send an h263 stream from a non rtp source 
(H324M or H320 as it has been discussed in the video list) to a rtp one, because
you at least would need to parse the h263 to find the gob boundaries and calculate the
rest of the parameters for the header.

And if you'r bridging two rtp streams I still haven't seen any that uses packets
over 1500 bytes.
