Questions about PCIe

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how the PCI Express specification is
implemented in the Linux kernel.

I read[1] that the PCI Express devices can be accessed like in a
network with a specific protocol with read/wirte requests.
I looked at the kernel source code and i didn't see anything about
such of PCIe packets.

Is this kind of mecanism in the PCIe implementation of the linux
kernel  ? Is this "network" protocol completly transparent and only
managed at the lower layers ?
