About
Growth Networks was a pioneering semiconductor and networking startup founded in 1998 as a spin-off from Washington University in St. Louis. The company developed Internet Switching Fabric — a new category of networking silicon that interconnected input and output ports within high-end switches and routers, enabling terabit-scale switching capacities for service providers. Growth Networks was acquired by Cisco Systems in February 2000 for approximately $355 million in stock; its 53 employees joined Cisco's Public IP Carrier Systems Group.
