I would advise against rating a product solely based on whether it will
intercept traffic. IDSes are much better served when passive anyways
unless active session blocking is a major requirement.
Other factors to take into consideration are performance, traffic
signatures (of which I believe there are few on the Cisco platform),
false positives, functionality, etc...

Subject: RE: [nsp] Catalyst 6000 IDS experience?
The catalyst 600 IDSM only supports detection of
attacks. The blade has no support for ressetting a TCP
session. Simple advise : Go for the netranger boxes.
