 I'm sorry I should have been more specific.  I'm referring to the
 *percentage* of a circuit's bandwidth.  For example if you order a
 20Mb site to site circuit and iperf shows 17Mb.  Well ... that's 15%
 off, which sounds hefty, but I'm not sure what's realistic to expect.

This doesn't exactly answer your original question, but...

iperf (as well as its follow-on, iperf3) runs between two end hosts, so
an iperf test will be measuring other effects, such as congestion (as
others have pointed out), but also end-host tuning, the LANs to which
the end hosts are attached, etc.

${WORK} maintains a good reference to tuning networks for
high-performance RE networks...some of these techniques are applicable
to other environments as well.
