Panji,
        The reason whi it is hard to write a hard and fast anomoly
detection for a syn flood is due to a threshold concern.  Some high
traffic web sites like yahoo.com may receive several hundred legitamte SYN
packets within any given time, (which is how RealSecure detects SYNFloods,
not sure about others), while others may be brought down with such
activity.  So before you can adequately write a SYN flood decode to a
percise measure, you must know what is normal, and what is not.  Given
this, many IDS vendors leave that up to the customer by providing them
with a threshold value to calibrate.
