https://www.mankier.com/1/iperf3#--length
I can only see:
length of buffer to read or write. For TCP tests, the default value is 128KB.
Q: But what sizes do iperf use to test the connection between the nodes? Cannot find any DOC about it.

Try running the iperf3
client and/or server with these options --json --logfile output.json --forceflush
. That file may confirm the default values you are using.

iperf3
message/packet length is specified using the -l
parameter. You can view the size used using the -V
(verbose) parameter. iperf3
will print a message starting with "Starting Test: ..." that shows the "byte blocks" size of the packets.
