There are multiple versions of traceroute but generally it uses time to live (ttl). Send a pa let with a ttl of 1 and the next router will send back an error message with its IP address. Then send one with a ttl of 2 and the second router sends an error message with its address. Keep increasing the ttl and you end up with the addresses of all routers in the path.
