There are two parts. Those that one can deduce becuase of the data and those
things one can guess as patterns of names.

Starting with your gateway.
 1  CYH-A100-VLAN10.GW.CMU.NET (128.2.10.254)  1 ms  1 ms  1 ms
      CMU.NET is assigned to Carnegie-Mellon University (which has the
128.2.0.0/16 class B network)
     From the name CYH-A100-VLAN10.GW, I would guess you are on a switched 100
Mb/s virtual LAN. and this is its gateway.    The speed response indicates this
as well.

 2  RTRBONE2-FA4-0-0.GW.CMU.NET (128.2.255.1)  1 ms  1 ms  1 ms
          This has a fast ping and seems to be a Router backbone at the
University, probably the Universities firewall
---->now leaving Carnegie-Mellon

 3  beast.psc.net (198.32.224.253)  1 ms  1 ms  1 ms
     This your Internet2 access at Pittsburgh Super Computer Center.

4  abilene-psc.abilene.ucaid.edu (192.88.115.121)  4 ms  4 ms  4 ms (this does
not have a forward public DNS entry)
     ucaid is University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development another
part of Internet2
     It is based in Ann Arbour Michigan

 5  nycm-clev.abilene.ucaid.edu (198.32.8.30)  17 ms  16 ms  17 ms
    Routing within UCAID (probably to Cleveland) but now on a slower speed link

 6  abilene-stm4.ny4.ny.dante.net (212.1.200.153)  17 ms  17 ms  16 ms
     dante is the ISP arm of a European Research Consortium (this looks like the
New York end of a Trans Atlantic cable)
 7  ir-nyc1.g-win.dfn.de (212.1.200.50)  17 ms  17 ms  17 ms
    This is New Your peer from Dante to dfn.de (on same subnet as dante.net one
so may be in same closet).
     dfn.de is Verein zur Foerderung eines Deutschen Forschungsnetzes (DFN) e.V
(for German Universitys)

 8  cr-frankfurt1.g-win.dfn.de (188.1.18.53)  125 ms  125 ms  126 ms
         This is your trans-Atlantic hop to Frankfuurt

 9  cr-muenchen1.g-win.dfn.de (188.1.18.26)  125 ms  125 ms  125 ms
     To Munich window on German high speed network peering point
10  cr-hamburg1.g-win.dfn.de (188.1.18.30)  125 ms  125 ms  125 ms
     To hamburg peer (seems to be a bit of an odd route here).
11  ar-oldenburg1.g-win.dfn.de (188.1.92.34)  127 ms  127 ms  126 ms
     Gateway to Oldenburg University connection to dfn

12  cata-ol1.hrz.uni-oldenburg.de (134.106.254.1)  128 ms  129 ms  128 ms
     One of the many gateways to Oldenbburg University (probably a Cisco
Catalyst switch)
Oldenburg University also has a class B network so all the 134.106.x.x IP's
belong to them.
13  cisco-ol3.hrz.uni-oldenburg.de (134.106.201.2)  128 ms  128 ms  128 ms
14  cisco-ol.hrz.uni-oldenburg.de (134.106.49.8)  131 ms  129 ms  132 ms
15  cisco-oss1.hrz.uni-oldenburg.de (134.106.34.254)  135 ms  132 ms  136 ms
16  cisco-oss2.ossnet.uni-oldenburg.de (134.106.143.2)  139 ms  147 ms  143 ms
     Routing within the Oldenburg University network (from times looks like a
10Mbs Ethernet)

17  134.106.143.6 (134.106.143.6)  141 ms  148 ms  145 ms
     Hits a blocked route within the University. Probably your ping is being
dropped by an internal firewaALL OR SCREENING ROUTER.

how much info can u glean from this traceroute output?
what does it tell u about the network devices being used?
does it tell u anything about the routing technologies?
