My understanding is that each team is automatically assigned to separate VLAN that is throttled to 7Mbps. If you choose to saturate your bandwidth with a video feed, the Field Management System has Quality of Service (QoS) implemented which will attempt to prioritize robot control over other traffic, but I wouldn't count on that.

I'd recommend configuring your camera settings to stay well under the 7Mbps or you'll likely experience lag. There are some notes from FIRST here:
