How does IPS inspect encrypted traffic?
Each session is encrypted with its own key. So, your IPS cannot scan incoming encrypted traffic “attacking” your server. It can’t scan such traffic even if you’re the client and the server is outside of your network. But for that, most of us (hopefully all) already have what we call an outbound proxy.

How does link encryption protects against traffic analysis?
One can defend against traffic analysis attacks with encrpytion, such as node encryption or link encryption. For instance, using the “packet counting” attack, the attacker can count the number of packets entering and leaving one node, and determine the next node which the packets will be sent.
