I bet someone read the paper she co-authored and that might have had some influence on the code that they ended up writing. Her husband worked on ARPAnet, surely he would have mentioned that paper to someone!
Her husband almost certainly didn't need to - she co-authored with Paul Baran; the insights from this work were directly influential on his subsequent work, and both this work and RAND's larger corpus of work in this area were part of the reference materials used by ARPA (which we know today as DARPA) began the Arpanet project, which was the foundation for today's Internet.
Since it was a simulation written in Fortran, the odds of it actually being used for routing is pretty small.
