If you're worried about being invisible with it, you really need to take
a look at the NetOptics taps (http://www.netoptics.com/).  We use one
and it's seamless; 100% totally invisible from the network because it's
not actually physically connected to the network.  The signal is
magnetically induced onto another set of wires.  It's slick.

And then, exactly, how do you stop the rogue packets from going through,
which is the whole point in having an IPS ? You blast them off
magnetically ? :)
