/**
- * Provides functionality for searching for the presence of a {@link FlowPattern} in a PCAP trace.
- * We use 2 threads:
- * 1) The first thread (main thread) collects conversations from the PCAP stream and put them into our data structure.
- * 2) The second thread (checker thread) checks the collected conversation.
+ * <p>Provides functionality for searching for the presence of a {@link FlowPattern} in a PCAP trace.</p>

- * @author Janus Varmarken
- * @author Rahmadi Trimananda
+ * <p>
+ * The (entire) PCAP trace is traversed and parsed on one thread (specifically, the thread that calls
+ * {@link #findFlowPattern()}). This thread builds a {@link DnsMap} using the DNS packets present in the trace and uses
+ * that {@code DnsMap} to reassemble {@link Conversation}s that <em>potentially</em> match the provided
+ * {@link FlowPattern} (in that one end/party of said conversations matches the hostname(s) specified by the given
+ * {@code FlowPattern}).
+ * These potential matches are then examined on background worker thread(s) to determine if they are indeed a (complete)
+ * matches of the provided {@code FlowPattern}.
