description: 'Avago Technologies Limited was the Singapore-headquartered semiconductor company spun out
  of Agilent Technologies'' semiconductor products group in 2005 that acquired Broadcom Corporation for
  $37 billion on February 1, 2016 and renamed itself Broadcom Limited, today Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO).
  Avago is therefore not a subsidiary of Broadcom but its legal predecessor and former corporate name.
  The brand is retired: every path on avagotech.com returns an HTTP 301 to broadcom.com, avago.com is
  a third-party domain-brokerage landing page rather than a company site, and no Avago-branded developer
  portal, documentation, OpenAPI, SDK, package or GitHub organization exists. API surfaces once associated
  with Avago product lines (LSI and Emulex storage controllers, fiber optics, RF) are published today
  by Broadcom and are profiled under the broadcom record.'

  detail: 'Avago Technologies Limited renamed itself Broadcom Limited on 1 February 2016 after acquiring
    Broadcom Corporation, so the brand has no surface of its own: every path on avagotech.com returns
    an HTTP 301 to broadcom.com, avago.com is a third-party domain-brokerage landing page, and no Avago
    GitHub organization, developer portal, package or machine-readable contract exists.'
