Hi,
Assume packet size = p bits. (note that p is only useful payload)
Assume bit error rate = b (after taking into account the advantage gained by
FEC, etc.)
PER = 1 - (1 - b)^^p (^^ Indicates exponential)(superscript: )
For small b, this comes to approximately bp.
Is this reasonable?
Regards,
Abheek

Subject: packet loss probability
Please, I have a question.
What are the typical values of the "packet loss probabilities"
due to link errors in satellite links, or, alternatively,
what are the values of the packet loss probability corresponding
to a BER going from 10^{-9} to 10^{-4}?
I hope that someone can help me.
Best regards,
Giacomo
