Radio Frequency Interference          (RFI) Electromagnetic radiation which is       emitted by electrical circuits carrying rapidly changing       signals, as a by-product of their normal operation, and which       causes unwanted signals (interference or noise) to be induced       in other circuits.          The most important means of reducing RFI are: use of bypass or       "decoupling" {capacitors} on each active device (connected       across the power supply, as close to the device as possible),       risetime control of high speed signals using series resistors       and {VCC filtering}.   Shielding is usually a last resort after       other techniques have failed because of the added expense of       RF gaskets and the like.          The efficiency of the radiation is dependant on the height       above the ground or power plane (at RF one is as good as the       other) and the length of the conductor in relationship to the       wavelength of the signal component (fundamental, harmonic or       transient (overshoot, undershoot or ringing)).   At lower       frequencies, such as 133 MHz, radiation is almost exclusively       via I/O cables; RF noise gets onto the power planes and is       coupled to the line drivers via the VCC and ground pins.   The       Rf is then coupled to the cable through the line driver as       common node noise.   Since the noise is common mode, shielding       has very little effect, even with differential pairs.   The RF       energy is capacitively coupled from the signal pair to the       shield and the shield itself does the radiating.          At higher frequencies, usually above 500 Mhz, traces get       electrically longer and higher above the plane.   Two       techniques are used at these frequencies: wave shaping with       series resistors and embedding the traces between the two       planes.   If all these measures still leave too much RFI,       sheilding such as RF gaskets and copper tape can be used.       Most digital equipment is designed with metal, or coated       plastic, cases.          Switching power supplies can be a source of RFI, but have       become less of a problem as design techniques have improved.          Most countries have legal requirements that electronic and       electrical hardware must still work correctly when subjected       to certain amounts of RFI, and should not emit RFI which could       interfere with other equipment (such as radios).          See also {Electrostatic Discharge}, {Electromagnetic       Compatibility}.          (1998-01-26)

root bridge          A {bridge} which       continuously transmits {network} {topology} information to       other bridges, using the {spanning tree protocol}, in order to       notify all other bridges on the network when topology changes       are required.          This means that a network is able to reconfigure itself       whenever a network link (e.g. another bridge) fails, so an       alternative path can be found.   The presence of a root       bridge also prevents {loops} from forming in the network.          The root bridge is where the paths that {frames} take through       the network they are assigned.   It should be located centrally       on the network to provide the shortest path to other links on       the network.   Unlike other bridges, the root bridge always       forwards frames out over all of its {ports}.          Every network should only have one root bridge.   It should       have the lowest bridge ID number.          (2000-11-26)
