dnleogksI just find a new term called Path-based testing. which is
Path-based testing is a methodology whereby the test tool is able to test the complete network path used by a voice or video stream. These tools often have an appliance or an agent in the device that can generate synthetic traffic, and flow that traffic across the network to another similar device. This flow of traffic across the network can then be tested for the key characteristics necessary to the support of real-time traffic, including packet loss, jitter and latency.

BaigThanks for sharing new Testing Type/terminology.
@MR. Brian:
There is a different term used to test "if-else" statments and different Loops that is called "Statement Coverage/Decision Coverage" and these are covered under the topic "STRUCTURE-BASED OR WHITE-BOX TECHNIQUES" ( as a reference you can consult 4th. Chapter of "ISTQB Guide").

I am familiar with the term as used for module / component testing.
Here we would look to cover each path there is through the code in a function.
An if else would have 2 paths
An if if -else would have 3 paths
etc.
For a (company) network I would assume a similar breakdown could be performed.
