Really? :-)

Any and all ethernet devices are bidirectional. Possibly, you tried to say RPI has only one ethernet device, which could be either WAN or LAN, but that's also wrong, because RPI runs Linux and, therefore, supports 802.1q - so inexpensive switch like DGS-1100-08 would allow you to use up to 7 separate ethernet ports.
