AB  - This study presents an Evolutionary Algorithm based approach for the design of telecommunication networks. A permutation-based encoding, uniform Cross-over and problem specific mutation is used for this design optimization problem. We considered a 2-layer network and our aim is to find the Lower Layer (LL) Link capacities for implementing the Upper Layer (UL) Links by minimizing the cost of the Lower Layer. To evaluate the performance of our proposed method, a sample nine-node network is considered and it is compared with other design techniques such as Integer Programming.
