CCR1036-8G-2S+ 28Gbit throughput

Hello,

on the Mikrotik products website, the CCR1036-8G-2S+ is advertised with 28Gbit throughput. Does it handle 28Gbit unidirectional or bidirectional?

It has 2 SFP+ ports, so will I be able to have a troughput of 20Gbit down and 20Gbit up?

Certainly.
The word throughput already says it - the 20GBit have to come from somewhere.
So assuming every interface (2x 10BGit and 8x 1GBit) is fully loaded in full duplex, you have 28GBit in total.

wouldn’t it be 56Gbit if every interface were full loaded?

No.
The traffic is processed once.
28GBit in → 28GBit out.
