The North-West Universities Network
Conference paper
Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the North-West Universities Network from the establishment of a network requirement, through selection to installation. The fundamental features of the network design are considered and the developments undertaken to tailor the system to the university environment are discussed. Management issues are touched upon and some consideration is given to issues arising from initial experiences in the provision of a network service to users. The relation of protocols to standards is mentioned and finally the future direction of the network is indicated.
