Re: Super Fast Snort Considerations

  Hi Charles, it seems you are mixing a bit.

  To have a sensor capable of holding 100Gbps in Snort you need some 
serious stuff, sepcialized hardware, I guess hardware offloading, etc etc

  But you also name BY2. This is a different ball game. To be able to 
manage the events produced by such amount of traffic (in this case 
combining multiple probes) you will need also some serious beef, but the 
are alternatives there too, both based on SQL and Big Data
