### Latency for Istio {{< istio_release_name >}}
-The default configuration of Istio {{< istio_release_name >}} adds 6.3 ms to the 90th percentile latency of the data plane over the baseline.
+Inside the mesh, a request traverses the client-side proxy and then the server-side
+proxy. In the default configuration of Istio {{< istio_release_name >}} (i.e. Istio with telemetry v2), the two proxies add about 2.8 ms and 2.7 ms to the 90th and 99th percentile latency, respectively, over the baseline data plane latency.
We obtained these results using the [Istio benchmarks](https://github.com/istio/tools/tree/{{< source_branch_name >}}/perf/benchmark)
for the `http/1.1` protocol, with a 1 kB payload at 1000 requests per second using 16 client connections, 2 proxy workers and mutual TLS enabled.
