Implementing a packet level software network load balancer

Spike: A Software Network Load Balancer

Spike runs on commodity Linux servers and is based on Google's network load balancer, Maglev.

Dependencies

• Go 1.8
• gcc (for the preprocessor)
• siphash
• snabb
• testify

Building

• Make sure that your go workspace is set up properly, and that the spike repository is in $GOPATH/src/github.com/sipb/spike.
• Clone and build the snabb repository.
• Run go get github.com/dchest/siphash.
• Run make.

It should now be possible to run the health check demo (demo.exe), as well as the snabb integration demo (forward/runspike).

You can run the tests with make test.
