Thanks for the credits :-)

Its been a while since I looked at that code.  I think, the 5 bytes might 
ref to the ATM header 5 + 48 = 53 bytes the ATM cell size.  But 5 is not 
used as overhead.

The linklayer ATM hack is to adjust the rtable array, that the kernel uses 
for lookups.  The problem is that the rtable array only have an 8 bytes 
"resolution" (well depend on cell_log), thus to get this aligned, I use 
the ATM payload size of 48, when populating the rtable array.  Then 
when storing the "data" I the rtable array I use *53 byte ATM cell size.

Good to see some documentation on stab, I always found it difficult to 
use.
