Mikrotik's Weird PCIe Card - CCR2004-PCIe Testing

Today I'm taking a look at the strangest router I've seen, and also the strangest PCIe card in my collection! The Mikrotik CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe is a Mikrotik CCR2004, but with 2x25G interfaces and 4x emulated NICs over PCIe. Certainly an odd choice, but in this video I'll explore some of the reasons you might want to use one.
