By the way, a lot of them are already registered (Probe IDs 6xxxx). https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/60006/ https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/60008/ https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/60009/ https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/60011/ https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/60012/ https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/60018/ https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/60019/ https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/60023/ ... https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/63101/ Currently, there are ~3100 registered v5 probes, of which only 35 are online. The others are not yet in use (never connected). As far as i can see, the first v5 probes went online in january this year. The architecture type is "atlas-mox".

L.S.

Is there a sneak preview of the V5 probes available somewhere?

Have a look at this: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/probe-v5/ <https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/probe-v5/> Might be USB-C?

Why would that matter? It's not like you're going to share the cable with other devices, or ever unplug it from the probe. The only factor I can imagine matter to anyone would be plug-n-play replacement of older probes. Which gives Micro USB a small advantage. Bjørn

Micro-USB is mechanically inferior: less reliable (easier to accidentally disconnect) and less robust than USB Type-C.

Maybe... But you can do a lot better than Type-C for power connector if that's the criteria. Even the smallest barrel connectors are more robust than a Type-C connector. Wrt the accidental disconnects I'm not even sure Type-C is better than Micro-USB. I'd like to see some statistics. A rarely disconnected Micro-USB connector will have the two "hooks" intact, and will be pretty hard to disconnect even if you pull the wire. I don't think it's fair to compare Type-C to a Micro-USB connector which is worn-out due to regular re-connection, if that's what you're thinking about. Anecdotically, my experience is that the Type-C is easily disconnected by a dog, using only his paws... But it wasn't my intention to campaign against Type-C. I just wondered what made that part of the design significant enough to make a wishlist. I'd rather see PoE if you really want to make the power connector more reliable. But I accept the price vs value arguments previously made against PoE. Bjørn

Hi Robert,

i noticed that v1 probes are stuck with Firmware Version 4790. Does that mean, they are missing crucial functionalities of the later firmwares?

BR, Simon

Indeed v1-v2 probes have not received new functionality since then. Therefore they don't do more modern measurements or options we added since (essentially because they don't have enough capacity to handle more code). Their numbers are diminishing though, and for the most part our infrastructure selects other probes if a measurement depends on such new, "crucial" features. Regards, Robert

Deal All,

Let me provide some information about the v5 probes, as it seems some of you are interested in the details :-)

The technical bits: the probes are derived from Turris Mox, "simplified" to match our need (e.g. no WiFi). The specs include: Marvell Armada 3720 CPU, 4GB eMMC, 512MB RAM, 1Gb ethernet, microUSB power.

A few of these are up and running already, hosted by testers (incl. some staff). We are gearing up to start distributing them via the usual channels (applications, ambassadors, sponsors, ...)

We do not (yet) recommend "upgrading" form earlier probes, as long as those still work. Of course we're always interested in new locations/networks to cover, so feel free to propose that! :-)
