First Patent (IGRP)
1992
Cisco earns its first patent, No. 5,088,032, for its method and apparatus for routing communications among computer networks, Interior Gateway Routing Protocol. The computer networks are interconnected with a series of gateway circuits. Each gateway identifies all destination computers to which it is connected and identifies the path(s) to each destination computer.
