Hello CSC
I am trying to find information on performance of the various IPS implementation options.
In short I've been asked to enable IPS on our 2 ISP routers 7206VXR (NPE-G1), 1 with 45Mbps connection, the other with 100mbps; LAN int for both 1Gbps. In addition, we have some internal WAN networks so would like to secure on this perimeter using ISDM2 in a 6509.
I have some doubts that using IOS IPS on each device will be able to cope with the load, with efficient throughput.
I found this info:

Does anyone have any similar stats for IOS IPS and IDSM2, or better still a comparison of all IPS solutions.
Help appreciated.
Thanks all
Phil
