[CONTROLLER-200] null pointer exception when nodes register with OF1.0/1.3 MD-SAL

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 08:23:12 +0000

1. start controller using -of13 switch
2. start mininet with a topo an point it at the controller
3. when nodes register with the controller null pointer exceptions are seen in the log
*. There should never be a null point exception in the log unless there is a real error, so presumably something bad happened somewhere.
