Hello sergggggg,

looking at your other post ,it seems like you want to know if there is a formula to calculate how much system resources (CPU, RAM, Disk, ...) is needed with IPS, depending on the traffic.
As far as I know, there aren't really any formulas, since the type of traffic and the number of active rules (e.g. with Suricada) can heavily influence how much performance is needed.
Using a CPU with lots of cores and high clock speed will always help though.
