The Routed DEVS (RDEVS) formalism provides a reasonable formalization for the simulation of routing processes. In this paper, we introduce a context-free grammar for the definition of routing processes as a particular case of a constrained network model. Such grammar is based on a metamodel that defines the semantics over the syntactical elements. This metamodel allows a direct mapping between its concepts and RDEVS simulation models. A Java implementation is provided for the grammar as a plug-in for Eclipse IDE. The main benefit of this software tool is the feasibility of getting a simulation model without having programming skills.
