As a predominant technique to estimate the cause and effect of Quality of Service (QoS) criteria in computer networks, simulations provide insight into how to most efficiently configure protocols to maximize the usage and to estimate the criteria for acceptable performance of network applications. This paper investigates the simulation of Genetic Algorithm-based network routing using Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocols. The simulator is implemented using LEDA (Library of Efficient Data types and Algorithms) [1] and the applicability of the library is examined in the context of Genetic Algorithms.
