[Snort-devel] block connections in IPS

Hi All,
IPS uses TCP Reset or ICMP to block connections. The drawback with this approach could be unsuccessful ness in resetting the connection. Do IPS have any other mechanism to block connections. Snort_inline uses TCP reset and ICMP error messages. The other approach currently followed by some products is to configure policies automagically in the firewall to block particular connections. This may lead to many false positives.

Is there any mechanism to reduce false positives and effectively block connections.
Regards,
Ravi
