Your explanation has improved my understanding of the numbers I've been
seeing in my Cadence simulator.

Roy,
When you have unterminated stubs, the reflections from the stubs go back
into the trunk line and aid the wave traveling to the farthest destination.
If you terminate the stubs and therefore reduce the reflection (by
absorbing
signal energy in the R of the RC) that goes back to the trunk line, the
wave on the trunk line will take more time (slower edge) to reach the
farthest destination. Depending on the timing margins of your design, this
may be
acceptable. I think the interactions are complex enough to need simulation.
Thanks,
Vinu
