Has something changed with "data transmission" since 16.04?

Additionally, I observe transfer times to be highly variable within this
smaller time window. Perhaps this variability was being masked by the
larger one of 88 about milliseconds, but my instances sense this
proportionately larger variability by re-acquiring new socket connections
more often than the increase in transfer rate alone would dictate. I am
wondering this perhaps to myself, yet I wonder it aloud here in the hope of
some valuable advice.
