Limiting network bandwidth at namespace level in RKE2 using Calico

^{Originally posted by praseed44 July 1, 2024} Can Calico CNI limit the network bandwidth used by containerd to download images from image registry? In a multi-tenant Kubernetes cluster with Calico as CNI, we are looking for a capability to limit the network bandwidth per namespace to ensure fair usage by all tenants in a cluster.

Given that, there are huge sized images for ML models running in Kubernetes cluster - image pull of few namespaces is consuming most of the network bandwidth thereby affecting the other tenants in the cluster.

Looking forward to the feedback from this expert team. Thank you!
