Hi Gary,

Are there any official performance figures available for IPS 5.0 yet, or any
good IPS 5.0 links we can take a look at?

Regards,

Tim

Mike,

The official launch for IPS 5.0 is February 15, and I'm not allowed to
divulge anymore information on it until then.

Can you explain this a little more?  We have a few 4240's in place now (not
inline, obviously), and we're looking forward to 5.0 (though getting more
and more annoyed at the slipping ship dates), so I'd love to go ahead and
get a head start on some of the new features.

And while I'm at it, am I totally missing a way to get a look at the actual
packets that trigger the alerts?

Mike
