History of The Router

The first router was the Interface Message Processor (IMP) developed in 1967 for the ARPANET network. It handled interfacing between computer networks at each site. The first multi-protocol router was created by William Yeager at Stanford University, supporting multiple protocols like IPv4 and IPv6. Cisco Systems was founded by former Stanford employees Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner, developing their first product based on Yeager's multi-protocol router design.

Interface Message Processor


o

The IMP or Interface Message Processor was the first device used as a router. In April 1967, a computer scientist by the name of Wesley A. Clark suggested the idea to incorporate IMP to the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) during a design session with Lawrence Roberts, chief scientist of ARPANET. The concept was to deploy the IMP to each site that would handle the interface to the ARPANET computer network, which was a predecessor of the Internet.

Multi-Protocol Router
o

An American engineer named William Yeager created the first multi-protocol router at Stanford University. The router supported two or more protocols, like Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and IPv6.

Cisco
o

Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner, former members of the computer operation staff at Stanford University, founded Cisco, a U.S. corporation. The first Cisco product developed was based on Yeager's multi-protocol router.
