Not only huge files. At the end of the article the author goes on about changing the load or manipulating the timing of the traffic.

For both you need to be part of the network and (to some degree) the traffic you want to trace needs to go through a node you are controlling if i understand it correctly. With increasing size it becomes more difficult.
