Abstract

We consider the problem of a network reliability calculation for a network with unreliable communication links and perfectly reliable nodes. For such networks, we study two different reliability indices: network average pairwise connectivity and average size of a connected subgraph that contains some special vertex. The problem of precise calculation of both these characteristics is known to be NP-hard. Both indices may be calculated or estimated through complete or partial enumeration of pairs of vertexes and calculation of their pairwise reliability. Methods for speeding up this process in the case when there are chains in a graph structure are presented in the paper.
