What is also interesting in these results is that as the number of policies increases, we notice that larger requests experience a smaller relative (i.e. percentage) performance degradation.

Title: Impact of Policy Count on Larger Requests
Summary
The analysis of results reveals an interesting trend: as the number of network policies increases, larger requests experience a smaller relative (i.e., percentage) performance degradation. This suggests that the overhead introduced by each additional policy has a diminishing impact on larger requests compared to smaller ones. The fixed overhead becomes less significant as the request size increases, leading to a smaller percentage performance decrease. This indicates a possible optimization or scaling effect within the policy enforcement mechanism as it handles larger data volumes with an increasing number of policies.
