The simulation model of the core uses scaled down times during link training to allow for the link to train in a reasonable amount of time during simulation. According to the PCI Express Specification, rev. 3.0, there are various timeouts associated with the link training and status state machine (LTSSM) states. The core scales these timeouts by a factor of 256 in simulation, except in the Recovery Speed_1 LTSSM state, where the timeouts are not scaled.
