Data Link Layer
The Data Link Layer is located between the Transaction Layer and the Physical Layer. It maintains packet
integrity and communicates (by DLL packet transmission) at the PCI Express link level (as opposed to
component communication by TLP transmission in the interconnect fabric).
The DLL implements the following functions:
• Link management through the reception and transmission of DLL packets (DLLP), which are used for
the following functions:
• Power management of DLLP reception and transmission
• To transmit and receive
ACK
/
NACK
packets
• Data integrity through generation and checking of CRCs for TLPs and DLLPs
• TLP retransmission in case of
NAK
DLLP reception using the retry buffer
• Management of the retry buffer
• Link retraining requests in case of error through the Link Training and Status State Machine
(LTSSM) of the Physical Layer
