Lara Networks
Lara Networks, Inc. (founded as Lara Technology) was a fabless semiconductor company headquartered at 110 Nortech Parkway, San Jose, California, that architected, designed, and marketed silicon-based packet-processing solutions for high-speed Internet and networking infrastructure. Its products were built on a patent-pending Associative Processing Technology (APT) and manufactured on 0.18-micron process technology: Network Database Search Engine (NDSE) devices, network coprocessors, and NDSE subsystems, with Content-Aware Switching (CAS) solutions in development. The devices were content-addressable memory search engines that offloaded ultra-large table lookups from network processors — holding tables of more than three million addresses and sustaining over 100 million lookups per second so switches and routers could process packets from Layer 2 to Layer 7 at full line rate at OC-48 (2.5Gbps) and above. The company raised a $40 million second round in October 2000 led by Raza Ventures with Battery Ventures, InveStar Capital, and TeleSoft Venture Partners, alongside a long-term co-development agreement and minority equity investment from STMicroelectronics. Lara Networks no longer operates independently: by January 2003 its laranetworks.com domain served Cypress Semiconductor Corporation content, and today every path on the domain 301-redirects to Infineon Technologies, which acquired Cypress in April 2020. As a fabless chip company selling silicon to network equipment manufacturers, Lara Networks never operated a web or developer API program, and no public API surface exists to enrich. This profile is retained as an acquired-company lead.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Lara Networks the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Lara Networks scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Lara Networks
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Lara Networks. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
