DM6467 DVEVM decoder freezes until next I-frame upon missed p-frame

Testing a streaming application on the DM6467 DVEVM, where the DM6467 is used for decoding a video stream received over network from a VLC media player, I found out that if there is packet loss and missing frames, the decoder stops decoding (stops returning buffers to display) until it gets the next I-frame. Why is that? ffmpeg and VLC for example continue to decode even when there are missing frames.
