Examples disclosed herein relate to a method comprising detecting, by a first network device, an interruption in a network stack of network devices connected to each other through a plurality of dedicated links. The method may also include identifying, by the first network device, a network device in the network stack with a highest split priority, determining, by the first network device, that the network device with the highest split priority belongs to a first fragment of the network stack and marking, by the first network device, the first fragment as an active fragment of the network stack.

According to examples, a network switch may include plurality of member nodes interconnected by member links to exchange data plane traffic. The network switch may also include a commander node to run control and management plane protocols for the plurality of member nodes. A first member node of the plurality of member nodes that receives a packet incoming into the network switch calculates a forwarding path for the packet to a destination through a second member node of the plurality of member nodes and forwards the packet to the second member node, and the second member node forwards the packet according to the forwarding path calculated by the first member node without calculating another forwarding path for the packet.
