How do you define "similar pattern"?
Detecting similar patterns/signatures is trivial if the signature is known in 
advance, but how do you know if something is "similar" before it even 
happens?

And if it is KNOWN then it probably already has a signature right?

Anomaly based Intrusion Detection/Prevention is very complex, much more 
complex than just trapping traffic and predicting similar patterns.
