Grade 10 Network Technologies

Computer Applications Technology practice questions and a worked example

Grade 10 CAT network questions ask you to tell network types apart by size, from a PAN to a WAN, name the ways to connect to the internet, and explain what a server does and why a business would set up a network. The practice questions here come from Grade 10 CAT theory papers: short definitions, multiple choice, and "give TWO advantages" questions about networking an office.

Worked example

5.1.4 What is a cap in this context?

Answer & explanation

This refers to the amount of data a person is allowed to upload and download in a fixed period of time, usually a month.

In the context of network technologies, a 'cap' refers to a limit on the amount of data you can upload or download over the internet within a specific time frame, typically a month. This is often set by internet service providers to manage network traffic and ensure fair usage. Once the cap is reached, the user might experience reduced speeds or additional charges. The stored answer correctly describes this concept.
