If you want to do something similar to this, I'd recommend that that you just discard data until you find a 255,255 and then copy the next 24 bytes into your data structure.
Hmm, well what happens if you loose one of those 24 bytes... it'll be that your 24th byte will actually be the first byte of the new packet... how does your way protect against this?
