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 probabilistic connectivity and its average pairwise connectivity. The problem of precise calculation of both these characteristics is known to be NP-hard. For solving these problems, we propose the parallel methods, which are based on the well-known factoring method. Some optimization techniques for proposed algorithms are proposed for speeding up calculations taking into account a computer architecture.
