AKA what kind of money you have to throw at it. We had
a 10G box that filtered on SNORT rules in hardware. We
purchased it from MetaNetworks, who were bought out by
Force10. The product page is here,

Ours was the 2nd or third built, you could still get to
the FPGA with Xilinx development tools. A grad student,
Jonathon Donaldson, working in our organization used it
in the work he did for his thesis. If you are
interested it is available here,
