RE: Re: [Snort-devel] IDS vs IPS

[twig les <twigles () yahoo com>]

I agree with an early post on this thread that IPS is basically
a BS marketing term.  A buzzword like "B2B".  IPS is not a BS
*concept* but techs can not let marketing ppl define our lingo
(since they don't understand what they are describing) or we
risk mass confusion, which it seems is happening here.  So IDS
and firewalls seem to be doing some overlapping functions, good,
I hope the functionality matures.  But I think we should let the
Powerpoint brigade argue over what to call things in pamphlets.

It's been a long day so this may come across way more
offensive-sounding than I mean it.
