Framing Bit Error Count Per Second
Since the maximum number of ESF superframes that can occur in one second is
333, the 9-bit BEE counter cannot saturate in one second in ESF framing format.
Despite this, there is not a linear relationship between BER and BEE count, due
-4
to the nature of the CRC-6 calculation. At BERs below 10 , there tends to be no
more than one bit error per superframe, so the number of CRC-6 errors is
generally equal to the number of bit errors, which is directly related to the BER.

However, at BERs above 10 , each CRC-6 error is often due to more than one
