Throughput of 25Mbps ATM? of 45Mbps ATM?

Could anyone tell me what the real, measured _throughput_, net of all
overheads, that one can get through a 25Mbps ATM link?  What about a
45Mbps link?  Can it be calculated as a straight percentage of the
nominal number, or is there some more complicated formula?

I'm interested in a single fixed-bandwidth stream on a link with a
relatively small error rate.

What if I wanted any error packets to be simply dropped on the floor
and ignored, rather than trying to be retransmitted?  Would this
make any difference on the throughput available?

Thanks in advance for any info on this problem.
