Actually, I used to do SQA for Symantec's NIDS development team so I'm not
sure I can disclose what their benchmark target release numbers are but I
can tell you they are very strict about their success rate percentages
before release (for dropped packets and alerts)

In your defense, I haven't actually tested it at those speeds myself in the
"real world" yet and as with any IDS I find there is a certain amount of
"tweaking" to eliminate the false positives.  Especially on the anomaly
detection.
