RE: Traffic Balancing on High-speed IDS

 Michael,

Does that mean that the Catalyst 6500 will have an IDS Balancer blade?
Will this be physical port based balancing or host based group balancing?



Thanks,

Ken G.

Thiago,

Cisco has a solution that will enable you to load balance IDS and you
don't need to purchase a load balancer providing you have a Catalyst
6500 switch.  We are in the process of developing a white paper which
details how to do this and I will forward it to you when it is complete.

Hi,

Im developing a IDS based on Sensor for High-Speed Networks, and Im
reading some paper about distributing the traffic for IDS sensors.

I want of you some opinions on how the best way to distribute the
traffic to the sensors, and distribute guaranteeing the attacks, such as
DDoS. Some links, papers, are also welcome.

Thanks in advance.
