Hello,
 
Dear Murphy
Yes I am trying to increase the VLAN tag to be 6 bytes. I have modified the 
vlan code on vlan.py under pox directory
how can i do the same for the switch, I just need to increase the size nothing 
else :-).

Are you saying that you're altering the OpenFlow protocol so that it can 
specify VLAN tags larger than two bytes?  And modifying a switch so that it can 
match and probably insert and remove these larger VLAN tags?  (If so, I'd have 
thought that using VXLAN would be an easier way or that using an extension 
would be cleaner, but that's another issue.)
So you're getting an error from the switch saying that it thinks you've sent it 
a flow-mod with the emergency flag *and* timeouts set, which isn't allowed.  
Assuming that you're not trying to set an emergency flow, the most likely 
explanation here is that the flow-mod is either being constructed wrong or 
parsed wrong.  If you're modifying the match structure to accommodate larger 
VLAN tags, make sure you've modified it the same way on both the switch and 
controller.

I am trying to extend the vlan header size, sorted almost all errors but 
finally I am facing this and I do not understand it.
