You can run Snabb Switch on your own machine or via SSH to our Snabb Lab.

$ git clone --recursive [email protected]:SnabbCo/snabbswitch.git
$ cd snabbswitch; make              # Builds LuaJIT in under 1 minute and snabbswitch in under 1 second
$ sudo src/snabbswitch -l selftest  # Run builtin test routines on the available hardware

Status

We are hacking like crazy. I/O is mostly already there and switching mostly is not. First release will be in 2013. Jump in and help!
