RIPE Atlas v3 Anchor Hardware
Dear all, The RIPE NCC has chosen a new model for the RIPE Atlas v3 Anchors. The hardware we finally opted for is the PC Engines APU2. As well as being cheaper than the previous generation of anchors, this model meets the majority of requirements we laid out for the next generation of anchors. To be clear, given that there are still a couple of minor logistical details to resolve, we are still keeping applications on hold for the time being. That said, we look set to meet our September deadline to resume shipping of RIPE Atlas anchors. For more information and future updates, please read our article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/the-next-generation-of-ripe-atlas-... <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/the-next-generation-of-ripe-atlas-anchors> Kind regards, Alun Davies Comms RIPE NCC
I thought at first I was a lost sheep talking about vm probes and vm anchors but seems some people made comments in same vain on weblink below as well Any reason why vm images and/or docker not considered ? Colin Johnston

I'm very happy about the ability for 10G. 1G ports on our network are non-existent.

Unless I'm missing something, 10G will still require an extra mini-PCIe adapter for a 10GbE NIC. The PC Engines APU2 only has 1GbE ports and no full size PCIe slots. This is probably too late to suggest, but the new the Intel Atom C3000 (Denverton) series would have been perfect as an Atlas Anchor. Supermicro has 10GbE boards with QuickAssist for under $500 USD. The Marvell MacchiatoBIN ($300 USD) is another 10GbE option, although it does require a lot more tinkering to get DPDK running. https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/dpdk-marvell/issues/1
