I don't have her book available so I can't comment directly on the content. However, read through the following document:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/12cgcr/switch_c/xcprt7/xcovlane.htm What out for line wrap on that one. You can see that once the LEC has resolved the address of the remote LEC to which it wants to communicate, a bi-directional data direct VCC is setup and all data flow *directly* between the two LANE clients. The LES gets involved when a LEC wants to join an ELAN and when address resolution is required. Beyond that it doesn't do much.
