The description:
"Currently there are two traceroute tools: traceroute (for IPv4 networks),
and traceroute6 (for IPv6 networks). Between the two commands there's a lot
of duplicate functionality, but there's also a lot of necessary divergence.
Unifying these commands (and allowing user selection for IPv4 or IPv6
functionality) would mean only requiring one utility."
My read from this is:
1. Create a new "traceroute" tool
2. based on the existing traceroute/traceroute6 code
2. in C
3. Accepts either an IPv4 _OR_ and IPv6 address
4. Works correctly for whatever the valid input is
5. unifies the two separate commands currently
6. Intelligently re-use shared code
Unit test cases:
traceroute 8.8.8.8
traceroute 2607:f8b0:4004:815::200e
