Reduction of jitter ( and also end-to-end round-trip delays ) is particularly important when carrying voice traffic, because the conversion of digitized voice into an analogue audio signal is an inherently real-time process, and to do a good job, the decoder ( codec ) that does this needs an evenly spaced ( in time ) stream of data items.
