gstreamer1-1.16.0-1.fc30

Try these (You may have to install gstreamer-ugly plugins for this one)

UDP streaming from Webcam (stream over the network)

gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480' !  x264enc pass=qual quantizer=20 tune=zerolatency ! rtph264pay ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=1234

UDP Streaming received from webcam (receive over the network)

gst-launch udpsrc port=1234 ! "application/x-rtp, payload=127" ! rtph264depay ! ffdec_h264 ! xvimagesink sync=false

Update

To determine the payload at the streaming end simply use verbose option with gst-launch -v ...
