Under the deal, which could strengthen RealNetworks' efforts to sign up more

corporate customers to use its software, San Francisco-based Cisco will sell

RealNetworks' RealSystem iQ software products - used for "streaming,"

or broadcasting audio and video over the Internet - to clients such as Internet

service providers and large businesses with wide-reaching corporate networks,

the newspaper reported.

As part of the deal, Cisco will receive a portion of the proceeds from

RealNetworks products it sells, though the companies declined to disclose

further details, the newspaper reported.
