Return the bandwidth of the network.

From ChatGPT:

In the context of a Cosmos blockchain, bandwidth refers to the maximum number of transactions that can be processed by the network in a given period of time. It is a measure of the network's capacity to handle transactional activity.

Bandwidth is an important concept in the design of the Cosmos ecosystem because it helps ensure that the network can handle a high volume of transactions without becoming congested. This is achieved through the use of Tendermint, the consensus algorithm used in Cosmos, which is designed to be highly scalable and can handle hundreds or thousands of transactions per second.

In addition to network bandwidth, each validator in the Cosmos network also has a personal bandwidth limit, which determines the maximum number of transactions that they can process and validate at any given time. Validators with higher bandwidth limits are able to process more transactions and earn more rewards for their work.
