The spec isn't a single monolithic idea. It's divided into . When you send data, it travels down these layers on the transmitter and back up on the receiver.

Manages the electrical signaling, encoding (8b/10b or 128b/130b), and clocking. It includes the Link Training and Status State Machine (LTSSM) which handles link initialization. 2. Bandwidth and Speed Generations

Legacy PCI used a shared parallel bus . Imagine a conference call where only one person can speak at a time. All devices shared the same bandwidth.
