02Test types
Every test type your protection will meet.
Pick a family and a level for every step. The product shows the unit and the ceiling as you set the volume.
Test families
82 test types, grouped into 8 families across layers 3, 4, and 7. Every type is listed in the product when you build a test plan.

Levels
Five intensity bands. Shared language for legal and infra.
Every scenario runs at one of five levels, and each level caps the load a test can place on the network. Exact BPS, PPS, and TPS values are shown in the product and shared during onboarding.
- L1
- L2
- L3
- L4
- L5
Level 5 is scoped on request.
