    I guess what I don't get is why didn't you test other ids manufactures on the market also?

    Why did you only test the vendors mentioned below?

    Subject: New IPS group test report
    For those who are interested, we just published Edition 2 of our IPS group
    test report.

    For this edition we had methodologies for both content-based and rate-based
    (attack mitigation) IPS - one product was tested against both. Five made it
    into the final report:

    Content-based:

    Broadweb NetKeeper
    Fortinet FortiGate
    SecureSoft Apsolute IPS
    Top Layer IPS 5500

    Rate-based:
    Top Layer IPS 5500
    V-Secure V-100

    The report can be viewed on-line (with no pesky registration forms!) at
    www.nss.co.uk/ips

    As with Edition 1, the entire report is up there barring only the benchmark
    results tables.

    Hope you find it useful
