Hi Ogle,
Apologies for the late response I've been on the road.
Firstly the text on the page may be a little dated, much of the technology
has marched on and some products are now good at both. I would suggest and
probably get flamed for it, that the IPS have adapted to handle rate than
vice versa. I'm playing with a particular IPS (unnamed)currently that is
very effective at dealing with DDOS

Hi Andy,
My customer stated that they want to mitigate DDoS. Referring to your
page, "...NIPS are not always necessarily good at mitigating DOS/DDOS
attacks....". Does it mean, that I could not replace it with IPS ?

Hi Ogle,
Nice list of products, I'm missing a few and would like to use your
information. I have independent details on many other attack mitigation
systems at http://www.securitywizardry.com/idsdosmit.htm these are
predominantly rate based products, it may also be worth you looking at
the
increasing number of Intrusion Prevention Systems that possess a hybrid
combination of both rate and content based protection these are listed
at
http://www.securitywizardry.com/inline.htm the overheads in managing and
monitoring the latter products are a little higher but well worth the
investment
Good luck
