Gigabit Ethernet already does have different conductors flowing in different directions.

- Dylan16807 12y agoOnly if you're using fiber. As far as copper: 10mbit ethernet uses one wire pair in each direction at a low frequency. 100mbit ethernet uses one wire pair in each direction at a high frequency. 1gbit ethernet uses all four pairs simultaneously in both directions at the same[1] frequency as 100mbit. Which is why wolfgke mentions problems when the different pairs aren't the same length. [1] Mostly. It's complicated.
