# Spike: A Software Network Load Balancer

Spike runs on commodity Linux servers and is based on Google's network

load balancer, [Maglev][0].

[0]: https://research.google.com/pubs/pub44824.html

# Dependencies

* Go 1.8

* gcc (for the preprocessor)

* [`siphash`](https://github.com/dchest/siphash)

* [`snabb`](https://github.com/snabbco/snabb)

* [`testify`](https://github.com/stretchr/testify)

* [`yaml`](https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml)

# Building

* Make sure that your [go workspace](https://golang.org/doc/code.html)

  is set up properly, and that the spike repository is in

  `$GOPATH/src/github.com/sipb/spike`.

* Clone and build the [snabb repository](https://github.com/snabbco/snabb).

  (This is unlikely to work on non-Linux operating systems.)

* Run `go get github.com/dchest/siphash github.com/stretchr/testify gopkg.in/yaml.v2`.

* Run `make`.

It should now be possible to run the health check demo (`bin/demo`), as

well as the snabb integration demo (`bin/runspike`). `runspike` should

be run as root and requires two environment variables, `SNABB` set to

the path to the `snabb` executable and `SPIKE` set to the path to the

folder, so you might run something like:

    sudo env SNABB=/path/to/snabb SPIKE=/path/to/spike bin/runspike

You can run the tests with `make test`.
