The traceroute command was asked to display names (or it wasn't asked not to display them with "-n") so for every hop, before sending the probe it tries to resolve the name.
If you call it with a "-n" option it wont.
If you try it twice in fast sequence (without "-n") you'll notice that the second time it won't do these requests (they were cached).

Can anybody explain why there is a DNS request after every hop in a captured
traceroute? I would really appreciate it.
