The second sentence in the original post answers your question.

"That means the server Nic card is receiving
much much faster that it is sending out."

What is so hard about understanding  that?

That data confuses me.  If there are only two stations on the wire
where is the data going?  It does not make sense that one station
maxes transmit at 73KBytes/sec while the other transmits at
19MBytes/sec.  The data has to be going somewhere.   I'm misunderstanding
something in your description.
