Vijai,
IDS are of two types- HIDS( Host Intrusion detection system) and NIDS(
Network Intrusion detection system)
IDS combined with firewall is IPS( Intrusion prevention system). IPS not
only detects attacks but prevents them.
IPS is said to be IIPS if it operates inline. In the sense, it takes in
each and every packet that comes to the network under prevention.
Prevention is done by closing away the connections with TCP Resets in case
of TCP and ICMP destination unreachable in case of UDP connections and
terminationg the state in the firewall.
IIPS is more advantageous than sniffer mode IDS as it does not miss a
single packet. But the disadvantage would be risk of loss in genuine
connections if its a false positive and performance degradation.
Inline IDS by the name means it cannot prevent the attacks even though it
takes in every packet.
