Abstract

This article describes several new design aspects for the future expansion of GULFNET—the research information network of the Gulf countries. The design methodology developed in the paper takes into account expected traffic growth, technology considerations and user demands. Several scenarios for future GULFNET topologies are presented and evaluated. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
