Examples described herein relate to configuring a target network interface to recognize packets that are to be written directly from the network interface to multiple memory destinations. A packet can include an identifier that a portion of the packet is to be written to multiple memory devices at specific addresses. The packet is validated to determine if the target network interface is permitted to directly copy the portion of the packet to memory of the target. The target network interface can perform a direct copy to multiple memory locations of a portion of the packet.
