1. A network comprising two or more nodes communicably linked to enable transmission of data packets there between, the network further comprising:

  • an intrusion prevention system to execute a filter protocol from a filter protocol set on a data packet upon detection by the intrusion prevention system of a real or potential network threat, said execution of said filter protocol effecting substantially said transmission of data packets;

    a network-related performance monitor to monitor at least one network-related performance parameter and generating network-related performance information based upon the at least one network-related performance parameter;

    a tuning agent to obtain or receive said network-related performance information from said network-related performance monitor and based upon the network-related performance information, and in a substantially automatic predetermined response thereto, one of effecting said execution of said filter protocol and effecting a modification of said filter protocol set; and

    a processor to implement the tuning agent.
