Abstract
A method and apparatus for determining link bifurcation availability implemented in a computer system includes assigning, by a controller, lanes that include links for one or more components connected in accordance with a current known configuration. The controller transmits ordered sets including the assignments to the one or more components which are received by the one or more components. The one or more components respond with a first link to the controller. Based upon the links received by the controller not meeting the current known configuration, the controller issues an interrupt and is reconfigured.
