Figure 1-5 LEN Node Directory

	To establish a session with an LU on a node that is not directly attached,
	Node LEN1 sends an LU-LU session activation (BIND) request to its
	network node server (Node NNA). The server automatically locates the
	destination LU and forwards the BIND.
	In this example, Node LEN1 can establish a session with LU1 on Node
NOTE
	EN1 through its network node server, NNA. However, LU2 on Node EN1
	is not defined in the directory for Node LEN1, so Node LEN1 cannot
	establish sessions with that LU.
	End Node Directories. When an LU is not represented in an end
	node directory, the end node initiates a LOCATE search to find the desired
	LU. To activate the search for a remote LU, the end node invokes the
	services of its network node server. An example of an end node directory
	is shown in Figure 1-6, “End Node Directory.”
