We are doing some performance tests on “snort” .

"I have no idea which is a good performance measure for an IDS, but I have an exact idea which ISN'T the right one: packets per second". I am citing from memory, so I might be wrong, but this is a famous quote by Marcus Ranum, which I wholeheartedly adhere to.
