This would imply that your server was unable to saturate the connection.  You 
should be able to infer this case by comparing the measured throughput to your 
server’s capacity.

Since the router handling the queue for the bottleneck link will likely be 
different in each direction (in the simple case, one is at the ISP and the 
other is in the subscriber’s home), it’s entirely possible for one direction to 
be fully ECN-aware and AQMed at the bottleneck, and the other to be completely 
bloated.  In both cases, the traffic will negotiate ECN (or not) the same way.

Additionally, even if there are ECN-aware, AQMed queues on the path, it’s the 
bottleneck queue that counts.  It’s possible to get some sporadic CE marks on a 
path where the major bottleneck link is bloated, if the traffic passes through 
an ECN-aware pinch point which is transiently congested.
