Correct speed measurement

Incorrect speed measurement

Look at this:
It's client. 5 Gbits/sec is impossible.

It's server in the same time.

I have now changed that the former client is now the server and the server is now the client. This is a screen from the client. Over 12 Gbit/s. Take a look at RAM.

These tests were performed on a local network on two of my computers. Ports on the network card are 1Gbps so as you can see these results are not correct.

I saw a similar problem when I was measuring to an external server outside my local network.

Could the problem be with some configuration of my operating system? Of course I don't use VPN, proxy etc., I closed other apps.
In the task manager, this speed is not visible in the network card graph and values.
