I don't think you could make a IP firewall that enforced read-only either, at least not in a general case.

Otherwise, you don't know of if a packet going back the "wrong" direction is a control mechanism (request for data, flow control, etc) or data itself. In terms of ethernet, you could possibly do UDP, but you lose any sort of error handling or flow control.
