I am a Cisco shareholder and I keep track of their acquisitions. The answer to your question is NO. They have not acquired a large international company recently. Therefore, the increase in offshore workers that Cisco has experienced must have come from IT or R&D offshoring.

It's probably how they've managed to keep net margins at 20%, which is VERY impressive for a large manufacturing company.
