Rate"?

for example :
        when I give ber=10^-3, packet size=1000bytes, what is PER?

As far as I know, the relationship between BER and PER , assuming that 
bit errors are independent and uniformly distributed is,

PER=1-(1-BER)^N where N is the number of bits.

However, the above formula is only approximate because in real life 
scenarios, the bit errors are not completely independent but may occur 
in bursts. Further, the error distribution is also not exactly uniform.

Hope it helps....

Cheers,
Abdul.
