Is Low MTU (ie 320) for VoIP over Frame-relay can be used to avoid serialization delay for large data packets?

In order to provide voice quality for VoIP, is FR fragmentation equivalent to lowering the MTU size for the serial subinterface of a Frame relay subinterface?

Is there any isues like stop communications, using Low MTU ?

If the router belongs to any of the

platform listed below, then use

FRF12 for you fragmentation. The MTU size

lowering also works but this can cause a high over

head as it can't be specified on a per dlci level.

With multiple dlci i.e. subinterfaces use per dlci fragmentation.. this helps reduce the overhead of changing the MTU size of the physical interface.

Snip config example.( __Must be configured on both side of the termination___)

This should help if your router is

c2600, c3600, mc3810, c7200, c1750

all running the right level of IOS.

12.1(5)T and above should work well.
