IDS/DDOS prevention hardware that doesnt cost $80,000+?

Any firewall/router that supports ratelimiting should suffice for most 
DDoS mitigation tactics.  A program called snort (layer 7 content 
filtering) should take care of
most of your IDS needs as well.

IDS/DDOS prevention hardware that doesnt cost $80,000+?

            I?m wondering if there is such an animal out there? All of the 
ones I have seen are made for the multi-gigabit service provider there 
aren?t any for the smaller mid-rangers out there. Can anyone suggest 
anything that we can put in place? The attacks we?re seeing are just a 
huge influx of PPS not so much the amount of bandwidth.

Offlist to keep chatter low is fine with me.

Sorry to be a bother,

-D
