Parameters of different types of UDP attacks.

Attack type	Attack duration	Attack strength
(a) UDP flat	50 sec	200 Kbps
(b) UDP ramp-up	60 sec, ramp-up time is 30 sec	50 Kbps to 200 Kbps
(c) UDP ramp-down	60 sec, ramp-down time is 30 sec	200 Kbps to 50 kbps
(d) UDP pulse	63 sec, 5 pulses, each pulse is 7 sec of high rate and 7 sec of low rate	200 Kbps per pulse for high rate and 50 kbps for low rate
(e) TCP attacks	50 seconds	200 Kbps
