Because it will introduce extra latency into the mix, and voice traffic is
latency-sensitive. So you don't want to have choppy voice.

That and voice packets are typically small enough that it makes little sense
to fragment them. Fragmentation is done to make all things play better with
each other on slower speed links. And since voice (or SNA or some other
stuff) is generally the reason for fragmentation, it wouldn't serve much
purpose to fragment that traffic as well.

Hi,
I was reading about frame relay fragmentation and everywhere in the
documentation I read that voice packets should not be fragmented...
Why is
that?
