Does anybody have any specs on the actual throughput of these gigabit ethernet peripherals?

It seems like there's some sort of dock port/connection directly into the camera body suggesting that it may be possible to use the full gigabit speeds as it seems tightly integrated, but I'm just speculating. If it does support full speeds, it may be easier and possible to find a mating connection and manufacture our own board to connect to it for cheaper than the grip..

It also has a usb port to connect a storage device but i imagine that'd be too slow.
