Just my opinion, but I sure wouldn't want to rely on the UDP/ICMP
packets that traceroute relies on to do performance measurment of
any serious nature. Traceroute is handy to calculate a rough idea
of round trip time, but nowhere near precise enough to be used for
this sort of goal.

"When a packet destination is the router itself, this packet has to be
process-switched. The processor has to handle the information from this
packet and send an answer back. This is not the main goal of a router.
By definition, a router is built to route packets. Answering a ping is
offered as a best-effort service."
