How does the Data Link Layer work?

Hi,

All PCIe data links are point to point. If a TLP packet arrives at the data links, it's intended for its receiver. If the bus entity is a switch, it's meant to go out through another port, but it's still intended for its receiver in the sense that it needs to process it.

Regards,
Eli

When a TLP is sent from one device to another, how does the receiver know it is the receiver? Does the TLP come with the address of the device that it's for? If so, where is it in the TLP format?
