Measuring the Internet topology in West Africa is a challenge that can be overcome. We propose in this paper to perform ego-centered view measurement of the topology. We show that the obtained graph is relevant qualitatively to represent the topology. The lack of Internet Exchange points between Internet service providers in West Africa leads to high diameter in the topology, which is the result of a poor collaboration among such providers in this geographical area of the Internet. The appearance of “bogon” ip addresses in our measurements reveals a weak administration policy in this part of the Internet.
