Failed to decode LLDP packet

Environment
~~~~~~~~~~~

Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit

Using latest integration build
http://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/opendaylight.snapshot/org/opendaylight/integration/distributions-base/0.1.2-SNAPSHOT/distributions-base-0.1.2-20140508.021130-540-osgipackage.zip

Dev lab with real hardware
2 x Alcatel-Lucent OS6900s
2 x HP 5900s

running openflow 1.3.1 toward controller

Issue
~~~~~

1. Topology discovery fails - LLDP fails

• possible cause: PACKET IN towards Controller has buffer id and no data ?

2. Inconsistent device port discovery. Port numbers on switches different on separate runs of the controller

Artefacts
~~~~~~~~~

1. Putty log of the controller running
2. Wireshark trace of the comms between controller and switches
