A network element includes processing circuitry and multiple ports. The ports connect using links to a communication network. The processing circuitry is configured to receive packets via the ports and forward the received packets to respective destination addresses via the ports. The destination addresses are organized in address groups, each address group including multiple destination addresses of nodes connected to a common network element in the communication network. The processing circuitry is further configured to, in response to identifying that a given port connects to a faulty link, determine one or more address groups that became unreachable via the given port due to the faulty link, generate a notification reporting one or more of the determined address groups that are unreachable via any port other than the given port, and transmit the notification to one or more other network elements, via one or more ports other than the given port.
