Are you sure about this:


According to ISS Real Secure 5.0 Getting Started Guide, it states the 
following:


Setting up a system for a network sensor requires an understanding of 
several key variables:

CPU type and speed
RAM
Sensor policy
- signatures activated
- responses activated
Packets per second on network
Packets that match active signatures



Table 1 on page 3 describes system requirements that should work on lightly 
loaded networks (less than 30 MBps) for the variables listed above. For 
more heavily loaded networks (30-60 MBps), it is strongly
recommended that you set up as powerful a system as you can.

RAM
In a heavily loaded network, RAM is vital. The network sensor is 
multi-threaded, so multiple processors will improve performance for a 
single engine. The performance impact on Solaris is greater than on
Windows NT.

Note:No matter how you set up your system, there may be some
environments in which the RealSecure network sensor cannot process
the network traffic. If this happens, reconfigure the network sensor to
reduce the number of active signatures or responses.
