*Network* intrusion prevention systems are essentially application-level 
firewalls:

    * firewalls inspect traffic from layers 1-4
    * NIPS (Network Intrusion Prevention Systems, an acronym I just made
      up :-) inspect traffic from layers 4-7

There are also host intrusion prevention systems (Entercept, Okena, 
Immunix).
