I also encountered network performance degradation on my server, however I'm 
not running Ubuntu but Debian with a self-compiled kernel. With bisecting the 
kernel, I could track this issue down to this commit between 4.14.2 and 4.14.3:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=0f478f25d50cb6464678284a13f514fefc16e271

I was tempted to undo this change in my kernel, however this change
works around a bug in the I219 adapter and I didn't want to end up with
an unstable system. Related to this bug I read about TCP segmentation
offload and changed tso and gso values with ethtool. Eventually "ethtool
-K enp0s31f6 tso" off did the trick for me and network performance is
back to normal. You might have to change the name of enp0s31f6 to the
name of your Ethernet adapter or play with on/off values for tso and
gso.

In order to persist this setting after a reboot, I created a udev rule
that calls ethtool, maybe this  option works for you as well.
