I can't speak for IBM or EMC or even Sun, but if you read the Sun quote
you 
can clearly see that we are supporting Nishan bringing technology to
an open standards forum like the IETF. Nishan has done some good
work that can benefit an IPS standard, but as with all IETF standards
it is the WG that decides what technology is part of the standard,
not any individual and particularly not any company.  The alternative
is going proprietary which doesn't benefit the industry. We encourage
all companies to bring technology to the IETF.
