The code expects the message type identifiers to be contiguous. In your case, it looks like you're creating 23 and 24 but there's no 22. Renumbering your messages to be 22 and 23 may fix the problem.<br>
<br>
However, you should think about whether you have a good reason for creating new non-standard message types. OpenFlow has an extension mechanism in the form of vendor messages, and POX has some support for integrating vendor messages without hacking up libopenflow itself (this is used for implementing the Nicira/OVS extensions in nicira.py).<br>
