This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
In a shared 2.5Gb scenario as you describe, would fully pegged upload/download be 1.25Gb each? Could it do 2.5Gb in both directions simultaneously? Assuming no compute bottlenecks.
It's full duplex so it's 2.5Gb each way simultaneosly. Most NICs support half-duplex but I don't know of any good reason to use that. I used to have a BananaPi based router that could comfortably saturate it's gigiabit interface. I assume there's some kind of offloading going on.
