Normal Data Link Layer Operation<br />

n<br />

<strong>PCIe</strong> describes Sequence Number generation in<br />

terms of conceptual counters, timers, and flags<br />

l<br />

Actual silicon implementation (registers and field bit<br />

definitions) of these functions will be vendor specific<br />

n<br />

Normal operation involves passing conditioned<br />

TLPs to the Physical Layer and receiving an Ack<br />

or Nak referencing a specific TLP<br />

l<br />

Flow control, buffer sizes, and link utilization will be<br />

determined by use of these counters, timers, and flags<br />

n<br />

Implemented on a link-by-link basis throughout<br />

the fabric<br />
