Hadoop and PCAP analysis

'Traffic lights' by Vit BrunnerLarge-scale PCAP Data Analysis Using Apache Hadoop: looks fascinating:

Traffic to the DNS root servers has increased and K-root produces terabytes of raw packet capture (PCAP) files every month. We were looking for a scalable and fast approach to analyse this data. In this article I will explain how we use Apache Hadoop and why we open-sourced our PCAP implementation for it.

Nice technique, but I’d like to understand a little better what sort of analysis they performed once they had the platform up and running.
