If only lab testing or captures from corporate live environments then may not apply to large/enterprise environments with more than 2,000 IPS devices deployed globally. Some Fortune 10 companies have deployed over 16,000 IPS sensors, the results did not account for rolling/tuned IPS policies over a 12 month period
