This paper presents a categorical survey on the various research techniques taken for improving the performance of open-source intrusion detection system, Snort – de facto in the field of intrusion detection and prevention. The pros and cons of all the techniques have been presented. A novel parallel architecture has been proposed to increase the performance of Snort-IDS in a high speed network.
