Thats correct. Better said by Butch.
Don't get me wrong though, this is a huge benefit, for backbone capacity
planning, to have Full Duplex at Layer3.

Tom, just catching up on these. Is what your saying below, that Mikrotik's
Nstreme2(dual card, FDX, PTP) still has a small amount of transmit
occurring on the designated Rx card? I've always assumed that it was truly
full duplex. But I've never really tested, wondering how sure you were on
your PS below?
At the IP layer, it is true FDX. However, NStreme (and NStreme dual) is
based on 802.11 protocol. There is some protocol information that is
needed to maintain each individual link that is not happening at full
duplex. This is a very small amount of traffic, but is happening,
nonetheless.
