Now that you have bytes per packet (which translates directly into bits per
packet - I'll let you guess how ;) ), you need to get samples per second and
samples per packet. Then you take samples per second and divide by samples per
packet to get packets per second (or more correctly, how long the packet is in
seconds). You then multiply this by the bits in the packet to get the bits per
second of the packet.
