A method and apparatus for association of multiple PCI Express links with a single PCI Express port. The method includes: connecting a first bus interface component to a second bus interface component with a set of K lanes and set of N lanes, each lane of the set of K lanes and each lane of the set of N lanes consisting of a unidirectional and differentially driven transmitter signal pair and a unidirectional and differentially driven receiver signal pair, wherein K and N are independently whole positive integers equal to or greater than 1.
