It's end to end at the socket layer, writes and reads. So it's the transport layer payload. The transport layer cab be either TCP or UDP with iperf 2. Iperf 3 also carries SCP.

The lower layers, e.g. IP & ethernet frames are not part of the calculation. Those don't typically go to socket or app layer.
