Bsically I'm writing an application that traceroutes a given set of hosts
concurrently. I got the logic pretty much done but I'm having a slight
problem with the timings. I am measuring the round-trip-times (rtt) of each
packet with classic method of defining a `begin := time.Now()` variable
just before sending the payloads, and then defining the `rtt :=
time.Since(begin)` variable right after receiving a response. The problem
is that when I do this for multiple hosts, most of the timings start
appearing in microseconds, as if the concurrent goroutines were triggering
some sort of bug in the timing mechanism. When I probe a single host, I get
the correct times so that's how I know that the logic and placement of each
of these `begin` and `rtt` declarations is fine.
Here is an example ready to be compiled and run, showcasing the issue. See
the outputs I get at the end:
