    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface apparatus that includes an interface; circuitry to determine whether to store content of a received packet into a cache or into a memory, at least during a configuration of the network interface to store content directly into the cache, based at least in part on a fill level of a region of the cache allocated to receive copies of packet content directly from the network interface; and circuitry to store content of the received packet into the cache or the memory based on the determination, wherein the cache is external to the network interface. In some examples, the network interface is to determine to store content of the received packet into the memory based at least in part on a fill level of the region of the cache being identified as full or determine to store content of the received packet into the cache based at least in part on a fill level of the region of the cache being identified as not filled. In some examples, the network interface is to indicate a complexity level of content of the received packet to cause adjustment of a power usage level of a processor that is to process the content of the received packet.
