Between 1992 and 1994, Cisco also acquired several companies in Ethernet switching, most notably Kalpana, Grand Junction and Crescendo Communications which together formed the Catalyst business unit.

In 2004, Cisco also started migration to new high-end hardware CRS-1 and software architecture IOS-XR.

Quickly growing importance of Ethernet also influenced the company's product lines, prompting the company to morph the successful Catalyst 6500 Ethernet switch into all-purpose Cisco 7600 routing platform.

However, limits of IOS and aging Crescendo architecture also forced Cisco to look at merchant silicon in the carrier Ethernet segment.

Cisco also expanded into new markets by acquisition-one example being a 2009 purchase of mobile specialist Starent Networks that resulted in ASR5000 product line.

Cisco ūmi product line – video conferencing for home also proved to be a short-lived bid for consumer multimedia market and did survive in Cisco product lineup.

Cisco Systems also sponsors a line of IT Professional certifications for Cisco products.

Cisco also provides training for these certifications via a portal called the Cisco Networking Academy.

Falun Gong practitioners and their supporters also filed a lawsuit in May 2011 against the technology company Cisco Systems, alleging that the company helped design and implement a surveillance system for the Chinese government to suppress Falun Gong ( Cisco denied customizing their technology for this purpose ).

Eastland County is also served by four local newspapers: the Eastland Telegram, the Rising Star, Ranger Times, and the Cisco Press.

Cisco also has marketed a Skinny-based softphone called Cisco IP Communicator.

In addition, several other proprietary variations have been implemented by systems vendors, such as the totally stubby area ( TSA ) and the NSSA not so stubby area, both an extension in Cisco Systems routing equipment.

Some vendors, such as Cisco, implemented protocols such as Cisco HDLC that used the low-level HDLC framing techniques but added a protocol field to the standard HDLC header.

CDNs may be implemented using commercially available software, with Aflexi, Inc., and Cisco Systems being prominent vendors, but larger CDNs usually run on custom platforms.

Cisco implemented IPv6 support for GLBP in IOS release 12. 2 ( 33 ) SXI.

Fast reroute has been implemented by major vendors, such as Cisco and Juniper Networks, to provide localized resilient capability for MPLS networks.

On Cisco equipment, both traffic policing and shaping are implemented through the token bucket algorithm.

In the Cisco IOS, PBR is implemented using route maps.

Subsequently, Cisco routers, which implemented TCP-IP and DECnet, emerged as a global connection between these packet-based Ethernet LANs.

The Oakley protocol has also been implemented in Cisco Systems ' ISAKMP daemon.

Cisco switches run an instance of STP for each VLAN, and since VTP propagates VLANs across the campus LAN, VTP effectively creates more opportunities for a bridging loop to occur.

In the context of Ethernet VLANs, Avaya and Cisco use the term Ethernet trunking to mean carrying multiple VLANs through a single network link through the use of a trunking protocol.

The Cisco Inter-Switch Link ( ISL ) protocol for supporting VLANs on Ethernet and similar LAN technologies was based on IEEE 802. 10 ; in this application 802. 10 has largely been replaced by IEEE 802. 1Q.

PBX networking vendors such as Cisco promote the adoption of handsets that use VoIP over local Wi-Fi as the replacement for DECT, but this imposes significant overhead on the design and complexity of the Wi-Fi network in order to provide roaming, coverage and reservation of bandwidth, not to mention quality of service.

" Among the products sought to be banned were over two dozen beers, and six fortified wines: Cisco, Gino's Premium Blend, MD 20 / 20, Night Train, Thunderbird, and Wild Irish Rose.

IT shops using Wake-on-LAN through the Intel AMT implementation can wake an AMT PC over network environments that require TLS-based security, such as IEEE 802. 1x, Cisco Self Defending Network ( SDN ), and Microsoft Network Access Protection ( NAP ) environments.

Several acquired companies have grown into $ 1Bn + business units for Cisco, including LAN switching, Enterprise Voice over Internet Protocol ( VOIP ) platform Webex, and home networking.

Cisco became a major provider of Voice over IP to enterprises, and is now moving into the home user market through its acquisitions of Scientific Atlanta and Linksys.

* Datagram Transport Layer Security ( DTLS ), is used in Cisco AnyConnect VPN, to solve the issues SSL / TLS has with tunneling over UDP.

In the summer of 2005, the PRC purchased over 200 routers from an American company, Cisco Systems that allowed the PRC government a more advanced technological censoring ability.

Cisco recommend upgrading to Maintenance releases where possible, over Interim and Rebuild releases.

After upping its offer to almost $ 3. 4 billion, Cisco announced on 4 December 2009 that over 90 % of Tandberg's shares had been tendered, allowing it to squeeze out the remaining shareholders.

Cisco Unified CallManager 4. 2 runs on Windows 2000 and includes new PABX features over 4. 1 ( 3 ) ( namely logging into hunt groups and call-forward on no coverage ( so, if you forward a line to a hunt group, and the hunt group is unavailable or busy, you can forward calls somewhere else ); Also introduced was Call Forward Unregistered, so that if you called a remote site, but the WAN link was down, you could automatically forward that call to the PSTN.

In 2007, Cisco CEO John Chambers described the long-term plan to kill the independent Linksys brand: " It will all come over time into a Cisco brand.

Generic Routing Encapsulation ( GRE ) is a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that can encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol internetwork.

* Linux and BSD can establish ad-hoc IP over GRE tunnels which are interoperable with Cisco equipment.

For example: Webvan placed a $ 1 billion ( USD ) order with engineering company Bechtel to build its warehouses, bought a fleet of delivery trucks, purchased 30 Sun Microsystems Enterprise 4500 servers, dozens of Compaq ProLiant computers and several Cisco Systems model 7513 and 7507 routers, as well as more than 80 21-inch ViewSonic color monitors, and at least 115 Herman Miller Aeron chairs ( at over $ 800 each ).

In an interview with Beet. TV, Cisco ’ s VP for Marketing and Emerging Technologies, David Hsieh, points out that “ video is invading all aspects of our lives .” He says, “ Today over half of all Internet traffic is video — 51 percent.

Long Reach Ethernet ( LRE ) was a proprietary networking protocol marketed by Cisco Systems, intended to support multi-megabit ( 5 to 15 Mbit / s ) performance over telephone-grade unshielded twisted pair wiring over distances up to 5, 000 feet ( 1. 5 km ).

Two of the highlights of the CN route include the ride through Painted Canyon in which the train clings about above the Thompson River and the crossing of CN's steel-arched bridge over the Fraser River and the CP mainine at Cisco.

Here Cisco ( Skiska ), the two railways switch sides: the CP —()- long truss bridge — crosses to the east, the CN — on a steel-arched bridge over the CP — is now on the west.
