If an unknown Type is specified, the message receiver SHOULD disconnect the connection. If a valid Type is specified, but is unexpected (per section 3), the message receiver SHOULD disconnect the connection. This applies to both the client and the server. For example, the server could disconnect the connection if the server receives a message with Type equal 16 when the connection is already logged in.

The following table highlights which messages, as described previously in sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, correspond to which packet header type.
