RMS meaning in Computer and Networking ?

In mathematics and its applications, the root mean square (RMS or RMS or rms) is defined as the square root of the mean square (the arithmetic mean of the squares of a set of numbers).The RMS is also known as the quadratic mean and is a particular case of the generalized mean with exponent 2. RMS can also be defined for a continuously varying function in terms of an integral of the squares of the instantaneous values during a cycle.

For alternating electric current, RMS is equal to the value of the constant direct current that would produce the same power dissipation in a resistive load.

In estimation theory, the root-mean-square deviation of an estimator is a measure of the imperfection of the fit of the estimator to the data.
