Zusammenfassung:Examples disclosed herein include a method including transmitting, via respective lanes of a number of lanes of a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) port, a respective lane identifier. The method may also include receiving, via the respective lanes of the number of lanes of the PCIe port, respective further lane identifiers. The method may also include determining which of the number of lanes to allocate to a link for communicating with a device coupled to the PCIe port at least partially responsive to the respective further lane identifiers. The method may also include allocating the determined lanes of the number of lanes to the link. Related devices and systems are also disclosed.
