The goal of this paper is to present an efficientprocedure to find good solutions to realistically sizefixed-charge, capacitated, multicommodity, networkdesign problems. At the present time, there exists noalgorithm that can solve large instances, common inseveral applications, in a reasonable period of time, soheuristic procedures must be applied. The designproblem addressed in this work is formulated as amixed-integer programming problem and solved by aprocedure based in Tabu Search meta-heuristic.Computational experiments were conducted andresults are compared with those obtained by anevolutionary algorithm.
