In a communication network, the vulnerability measures the resis-
tance of the network to disruption of operation after the failure of certain
stations or communication links. To measure the vulnerability we have
some parameters which are connectivity, toughness, scattering number,
integrity, tenacity and their edge analogues. This paper includes several
results on the toughness and the scattering number of a gear graph as a
communication network. Firstly, we compute the scattering number and
toughness of a gear graph. In addition, the scattering number and tough-
ness of the complement of a gear graph, the cartesian product of two gear
graphs and the sequential join of gear graphs are computed. Finally, we
compare the results for the scattering number and toughness.
