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.

Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) is a multi-parameter technique for automatic packet routing and flow optimization. IGRP eliminates the need for the static, or manual, routing tables used by other network equipment of its time to determine routing pathways.
