From the hosts' perspective this is likely going to be a software package, or docker image, or such, that one can install on an existing device. >From our perspective this is a different approach from what we have so far (hardware-only probes), so deciding on if and how to expand to this area is not a trivial question. VM anchors are simpler in this regard. As of now we're checking what software probes would change in terms of how we manage our infratructure and reviewing/verifying the related processes. I expect that we'll do some kind of pilot early next year, then decide if this is indeed a desired direction for RIPE Atlas. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you need me to elaboration more. Regards, Robert Kisteleki for the RIPE Atlas team
