The high delay behavior isn't a link flapping.   I ran a 12 hour test
today(Feb 22, 2017) between my home in Illinois and two servers in Japan.
Approximately 1% of the round-trip times were over 20 seconds.   The high
delays were all in the Japan -> Illinois direction.
[Similar delays can sometimes be seen within the United States, though the
rate is much lower.]

There may be a relationship between the high delays and increased losses.
[Consider how one might implement rate limiting.]
