Seriously: I have to second the recommendation to buy the Sourcefire sensors. I've got a half dozen or so and they work fairly well. Their support is great. The 9900 has great throughput, low enough latency and can handle 10 Gbit with no problems. What are you looking to monitor? MJ On 10/30/2009 11:19 PM, Rob Dixon wrote:

If funding was not a issue what would you buy? Q: Snort is not multi-threaded so does it make sense to buy a rack mount server with multiple cpus? Q: How much ram should be allocated per server for 32bit snort on linux? If I go over 4Gb I would have to use a PAE kernel. How much ram can Snort use? Q: Ntap fiber to copper aggregators for gigabit links or Ntap fiber to copper traditional taps (Outputs Tx and Rx per copper port)? Q: If I decide to use the traditional taps do you run two processes of snort for each TX and RX or do you bridge the two interfaces and run just one snort process? What is best to do in this scenario? Thanks! *Wilson*
