From the developer:

OS X comes bundled with a network utility suite aptly called Network Utility. It's just a wrapper for command line Unix tools. Nothing more. Not too swift. It has to pipe control through to the command line and then back. Speed isn't its hallmark.
Spike is also a network utility named after the famous Goldeneye scene where Izabella Scorupco tries to nail Alan Cumming's grid so the sparks start flying. Spike runs its own native code.
