Abstract
A system and method for dynamically reassigning buffer space during to maximize IO performance of virtual lanes is set forth. More specifically, the system and method for dynamically reassigning buffer space takes buffer space from unused virtual lanes and reassigns the unused buffer space to used virtual lanes, e.g., when changes occur to an IO configuration. For example, in an embodiment that supports four virtual lanes where only two virtual lanes are in use, the system and method reassign the buffer space from the other two unused virtual lanes for use by the two virtual lanes in use.
