Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. Its goal is to assign running processes to time slices of the CPU in a “fair” way. So why mess with it?

With more nodes and more coordination comes more complexity, both in design and operation. So before matching, the IDS/IPS has to reconstruct a TCP bytestream in the face of packet fragmentation, loss, and out-of-order delivery – a process known as reassembly. This makes the whole system latency sensitive.
