TCP maximum segment size (MSS)

MTU = MSS + 40 = 140 bytes

iperf3 -s
MTU, or ‘Maximum Transmission Unit

The MSS is usually the MTU - 40 bytes for the TCP/IP header.

The MSS is 1460 bytes (1500 byte MTU of the IP packet, or 1514 for ETH packet size).

The MTU is the largest block of data that can be handled at layer-3 of the OSI model ( IP packet )

I think it's Ethernet packet ( not frame , frame will include the preamble and FCS)

Small Vs Big packets

packet length

-t, --time # time in seconds to transmit for (default 10 secs)
-n, --bytes #[KMG] number of bytes to transmit (instead of -t)
-k, --blockcount #[KMG] number of blocks (packets) to transmit (instead of -t or -n)
-l, --length #[KMG] length of buffer to read or write
(default 128 KB for TCP, dynamic or 1460 for UDP)

-P, --parallel # number of parallel client streams to run

-M, --set-mss # set TCP/SCTP maximum segment size (MTU - 40 bytes)
