Unfortunately, performance is difficult to test, and the results are
almost as hard to describe. As IPS moves further up the network stack,
performance becomes highly data-dependent. This is different from what
we're used to witnessing in the world of switches and routers, where
performance is easy enough to describe. ..."
Apologies to anyone who is offended by the pointer.
