Hi Ben,

Thanks for your reply.

You told that for invalid queue id, OFPQOFC_BAD_QUEUE error would be
returned.

But, for invalid flow stat request there is no error type or code. So, you
said, that case
switch can return stat reply without body. I think, effectively this may
lead OpenFlow Controller
in confusion. Because, switch may wrongly send stat reply message without
body.
How does the controller know, which stat reply message is correct? Is the
stat reply
message(without body) generated from invalid flow stat request or the
switch itself behaving
incorrectly?

So, could you please tell me you opinion on this?

Thanks & Regards,
Mrinmoy
