The mention of "C like" code and the DPI makes me think the hardware
uses Intel's IPX series network processors. For those, the ruleset is
basically written in C and uploaded to the device.
SANS has a whitepaper on doing Snort IDS with them, a fairly similar
application to the above (this is for the 24xx series @ 2.5gbps)

The IXP2800 can do line-rate 10gbps
