Technologies for endpoint congestion avoidance are disclosed. In order to avoid congestion caused by a network fabric that can transport data to a compute device faster than the compute device can store the data in a particular type of memory, the compute device may in the illustrative embodiment determine a suitable data transfer rate and communicate an indication of the data transfer rate to the remote compute device which is sending the data. The remote compute device may then send the data at the indicated data transfer rate, thus avoiding congestion.
