Systems and techniques for storage-class memory device including a network interface are described herein. A write for a network communication is received by the host interface of the memory device. Here, the network communication includes a header. The header is written to a non-volatile storage array managed by a memory controller. A network command is detected by the memory device. Here, the network command includes a pointer to the header in the non-volatile storage array. The header is retrieved from the non-volatile storage array and a packet based on the header is transmitted via a network interface of the memory controller.
