If you are interested in using traceroute for its intended purposeof tracing out the route to a remote node.
Then I suggest that you have a look at some of the talks by 
Richard A Steenbergen. He goes into quite a bit of detailon how to use the dns names of routers to determine theirlocation and their function.

First, the following.
{
tracepath socialist-alliance.org
}

Which after some Canberra and Sydney servers, produced this. I would 
have looked up say "hkix.net" directly in Firefox, showing that was a 
Hong Kong service. Though I wasn't able to connect with "pccwbtn.net" 
similarly, as with "139.162.64.17".

But freegeoip.net listed for that numerical address, the following.

{
Country     Japan
Region     Tokyo
City     Tokyo
