Company History
Cisco was founded in 1984 by a couple, Leonard Bosack and Sandy K. Lerner, in Silicon Valley, California.[1] The two Stanford University employees used their own credit cards for funding as they produced multiprotocol routers in their living room.[1] The multiprotocol router was important because it "enabled computers of varied make, with different protocols, to communicate and to access the early Internet."[1] The first router was designed by Andy Bechtolsheim (who later founded Sun Microsystems and much of its programming was written by William Yeager, a research engineer at Stanford.[1] Bosack and Lerner developed a router that closely resembled the one with Yeager's software, for which they had had access to in its early stages of planning. By 1986 Stanford and Cisco were fighting over rights to the router's software as well as the use of Stanford resources for Cisco's projects by Bosack.[1] An informal settlement was reached between the two organizations in 1987 when Stanford licensed the router software and two computer boards to Cisco, in exchange for the right to use some of the software which included significant improvements made by Cisco after its break from the Stanford research team.[1]
