The magnitude of ringing cannot be larger than the transient slew rate
times the round-trip delay thru the trace. For the ringing to reach its
maximum magnitude under given terminations, the interconnect round-trip
delay has to be greater than the switching time.
As a result, even for large reflections and small loss, the ringing may
be almost unnoticeable in slower circuits and shorter interconnects, and
becomes more pronounced as switching speed and interconnect length
increase.
