Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) - Software which monitors network traffic or system activities for malicious activity and attempts to block said activity from accessing your network/machine.
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) - Software which monitors network traffic or system activities for malicious activity and alerts users on possible threats.
IPS is more intelligent than IDS.
What you are describing there sounds like packet inspection, which is normally performed by a firewall, IDS or IPS.
IDS Intrusion detection system can be configured to alert persons of an intrusion or suspicious activity in the network. An organization will find this useful to meet compliance requirements in strict situations. They can also prove useful in troubleshooting because many intrusion detection systems can capture packets. Today most IDS systems have been replaced with IPS (intrusion prevention systems) because IPS will take action when an signature is fired. A signature is how many IPS systems recognize suspicious activity.
Yes - almost all vendors of IDS or IPS sensors have a whitepaper on what protocols they support.

IPS (Intrusion Prevention System)- A dedicated device or software running on a host that automatically reacts to any unauthorized attempt to access an organization's secured resources on a network or host. IPS is often combined with IDS, however IDS do not automatically make changes to block or overt traffic.
Usually clumped together as firewalls. Devices like them are IPS - Intrusion protection system. IDS - Intrusion detection system.
there can be many devices connected between a router and a switch the most popular items are firewall , ips , ids there are other devices such as network management tools
