  Abstract

This paper presents a genetic algorithmic approach to shonest path (SP) routing problem. Variable-length chromosomes (strings) and their genes (parameters) have been used for encoding the problem. The crossover operation that exchanges panial chromosomes (panial-routes) at positionally independent crossing sites and the mutation operation maintain the genetic diversity of the population. TIle proposed algorithm can cure all the infeasible chromosomes with a simple repair function. Crossover and mutation together provide a search capability that results in improved quality of solution and enhanced rate of convergence.
Computer simulations show that the proposed algorithm exhibits a much better quality of solution (route optimality) and a much higher rate of convergence than other algorithms. TIle results are relatively independent of problem types (network sizes and topologies) f ‘ or almost alI source-destination pairs.
