    From what I understand, a NIDS can typically handle up to 40Mbps of traffic
    at any one time before starting to drop packets aggresively. An IDS
    Balancer, like that from TopLayer Networks, will be required, especially if
    you're talking about a GE network.

    Btw, regardless of what tool you use, does anyone knows how to check what is
    the packet drop rate on the IDS?

    Thanks!

    Does anyone know of any good tools that can generate alot of network
    traffic to see at what point an IDS starts dropping packets?

    Thanks,
    Chad
