The Data Packet With Type-0x96- Returned Was Misformatted -

The data packet with type 0x96 returned was misformatted

"Received malformed type 0x96 packet — parsing failed at offset 0x12 (length mismatch). Packet quarantined; retransmission requested."

Define expected structure, e.g.:

Offset 0: type (0x96)
Offset 1: length
Offset 2-3: sequence number
Offset 4+: payload (variable)
Checksum: last 2 bytes

Scenario: A weather station uses a custom protocol over UART. The central hub polls sensors every second. Sensor type 0x96 is defined as "wind speed and direction" (16 bytes: 4 bytes speed float, 2 bytes direction integer, 10 bytes reserved).

Error log: "data packet with type-0x96 returned was misformatted" the data packet with type-0x96- returned was misformatted

Diagnosis:

Fix: Hardware re-seating + adding a stronger CRC to the protocol. The data packet with type 0x96 returned was

Some real-time protocols (e.g., PROFINET IRT) embed timing information in 0x96 control packets. If the sender’s clock drifts, the timestamp inside the packet may be rejected as invalid – flagged as "misformatted."
