Wishlist for IPS Products

Subject: Wishlist for IPS Products

I have seen a lot of discussion about the differences between IDS,
IPS, and firewalls and the potential for convergence, but I do not
recall a discussion on the primary features that an IPS should have
out of the box.

I am thinking of:
- Flow Control - limitations on flooding, unused connections, etc...
- Robust, ACURATE signature base
- Packet capture - no debate on how much before, as that has been covered
- Pre-deployment network analysis tools to accelerate deployment
- Anomaly detection
- Alert export compatibility with 3rd party event management solutions

It seems like discussions of this type can only serve to improve the
products on the market (or coming to the market), since we know at
least some of the vendors are monitoring this list.
