This read-write BitErrRate sets the bit error rate to inject into the stream, applicable only when error injection is enabled, per its description. An administrator tunes this to control how frequently synthetic errors are introduced, letting them simulate anything from a marginal line to a severely degraded one. For example, an operator validating a customer's error-rate alarm threshold would set bertConfigStreamErrInjectRate to a value just above that threshold to confirm the alarm fires correctly.
