[SI-LIST] Terminations Query

Hi,
I have a basic query on the parallel termination techniques that are widely
used.

When a transmission line is terminated (lets assume a 50ohm parallel
termination) we tend to match the Parallel termination resistance with the
Trace Impedence. Instead shouldn't we match the Termination resistance to
Source impedence of the driver + Trace Impedence, since they both are in
series?

Please forgive me if i am sounding stupid.

Thanks,

Karthik
