Strange, I've never heard of parallel data streams in atm. As far as I 
know it's a single asynchronous data stream. Do you have a reference ?

As far as I can see (revising my old digital telecoms training via Google) 
all the routing information is carried in a 5 byte header.

I found this introduction [1] which seems to concur with my dusty memory. 
Warning - it is a usability nightmare and the overlong title tags 
(containing useful info) don't display properly in Mozilla. IE will make 
you sick with M$ animations :)
