Not sure if it's the Chromecast.

> Normally the device should send a couple of packets every 20 seconds, but in recent Android versions the apps sometimes send large bursts [...]. The longer the device has been in sleep mode, the more packets are send.

I wonder if it's a side effect of aggressive battery optimization in the newest Android version (Deep sleep/Doze, etc) where packets are withheld intentionally to only be delivered in bursts and have the wifi/radio sleep in between. Naturally, Pixel get updated first.
