[atlas] [mat-wg] RIPE Atlas Software Probes

If it's interesting to the community I could fire up a software probe at my house where I've also got a v4 probe.  That way it would be a fairly direct comparison, even down to the hardware & software probe being in the same switch.

To be fair the v1 and v2 (ID<=5000) are 9+ years old tiny embedded devices, their capabilities are nowhere close to anything else one runs Linux on nowadays.

Note that our team is also analysing the similarities/differences, but if someone else also wants to look, these are good candidates (same AS, same prefix, approximately same location):

https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/1000030/ (sw) https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/28270/  (v3)

or:

https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/1000041/ (sw) https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/54558/ (v4)

Cheers,
Robert
