Description
# Context
* Version of iperf3:3.11
* Hardware: AMD64
* Operating system (and distribution, if any): VM Ubuntu 20.04
I'm running some UDP tests from my Ubuntu VM.
The command I use for the client is :
`iperf3 -u -c hostname -p xxxxx --get-server-output
`
And for server :
`iperf3 -s -1 -p xxxxx --rcv-timeout 2000`
What I observed was that there was a difference between the output of the client and the output of the server.

```
So at the above example there is an extra interval compared with the ones of the client :
`[ 5] 10.00-10.05 sec 7.13 KBytes 1.15 Mbits/sec 1.939 ms 0/5 (0%) `
Does anybody knows why this is happening and if there is a way to always achieve the same intervals both on the client and the server side.
Thank you fro your time.
