- Software Defined Networks (SDN) is a new concept of network architecture. It intends for being more flexible and simplifies the management in networks respect the existing ones. All these aspects are possible because the separation of control plane (controller) and data plane (switches). OpenFlow is the most important protocol for SDN networks that provides the communication between control and data plane. Due the existence of an interface, it is possible to deploy monitoring tools to obtain the network status and retrieve a statistics collection. Therefore, achieve the most accurate statistics depend on the strategy to monitor the network. In this paper we describe an optimization for the traffic monitoring in SDN networks. Moreover, it decreases the number of monitoring queries to improve the network traffic and also it reduces the overload. The experiments shown that the results of monitoring with and without the optimization demonstrate the feasibility of our proposal. Finally, the conclusions and future challenges are presented.
