In one embodiment, an input/output port includes a stateful transmit port having: a history storage to store a value corresponding to a transmit on change field of a prior data packet; a comparator to compare a transmit on change field of the data packet to the value stored in the history storage; and a selection circuit to output the data packet without the transmit on change field when the transmit on change field of the data packet matches the value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
