Bhuku rino rinotaura nezvekushandiswa kwemigwagwa chaiyo (virtual paths) uye migwagwa chaiyo. Sero rimwe nerimwe reATM rine 8- kana 12-bit virtual path identifier (VPI) uye 16-bit virtual channel identifier (VCI) vaviri vanotsanangurwa mumusoro waro. VCI, pamwe neVPI, inoshandiswa kuziva nzvimbo inotevera yesero sezvo ichipfuura nemutsara weATM switches munzira yayo kuenda kunzvimbo yayo. Kureba kweVPI kunosiyana zvichienderana nekuti sero rinotumirwa pane mushandisi-network interface (kumucheto kwenetiweki), kana kuti rinotumirwa pane network-network interface (mukati menetiweki). Mubvunzo: ATM inoshandisa nzira dzerudzii?
