The Go 1.18 release adds support for generics. Generics are the biggest change we’ve made to Go since the first open source release. In this article we’ll introduce the new language features. We won’t try to cover all the details, but we will hit all the important points.

When a packet travels across the Internet, it travels through multiple routers. The traceroute and mtr tools can be used to identify the routers a packet passes through between you and a given destination IP address. traceroute is a one-shot sort of tool whereas mtr runs and aggregates the results of a number of traceroutes. If you simply want to find the routers your packet passes through, traceroute is fine. If you want to diagnose a problem such as packet loss, mtr is the tool to use.
In this blog, we’ll talk in the context of the output of mtr given it is more versatile.
