Yeah Ummm an IPS is nothing more than a layer7 "application layer" firewall

  Hello,
  
  Even if i agree with you on some points, this last assertion is (IMHO)
  false.
  As far i know, IPS/IDS run mainly with rules, a layer7 firewall
  knows the protocol it's watching about and uses differents
  solutions to check out the traffic, not only pattern matching. One i know
  is using neural network for example.
  
  Best regards.
