Since we now have inline IPS box which is going to sit between your outside network and inside network and going to analyze traffic before it reaches the host on either end. Now if you have firewall box, even that's going to analyze the traffic and make sure it conforms to the security policies. So we have two boxes which is going to analyze the traffic. that means PIX is going to analyze the traffic and again IPS is going to analyze the traffic. Doesnt that effect the traffic. Some competitors have firewall and IPS in the same box, which means they have to analyze the traffic only once, whereas in our case we are analyzing the traffic two time.
Any comments.
