What are the two characteristics of IPS?

A.
Can drop traffic

B.
Does not add delay to traffic

C.
It is cabled directly inline

D.
Can`t drop packets on its own

Explanation:
+ Position in the network flow: Directly inline with the flow of network traffic and every packet
goes through the sensor on its way through the network.
+ Mode: Inline mode
+ The IPS can drop the packet on its own because it is inline. The IPS can also request
assistance from another device to block future packets just as the IDS does.
