Was unable here to reproduce the problem with a small VM.

Can you please describe in more details both the sizing of the choosen
VM ideally the full qemu commandline which is invoked as well when
starting and the vm description.

Additionally please the exact test setup which triggers the problem
for you with the iperf3 invocations.

Thanks already,

Salvatore
