One measure of two-terminal network reliability, termed probabilistic connectedness, is the probability that two specified communication centers can communicate. A standard model of a network is a graph in which nodes represent communications centers and edges represent links between communication centers. Edges are assumed to have statistically independent probabilities of failing and nodes are assumed to be perfectly reliable. Exact calculation of two-terminal reliability for general networks has been shown to be #P-complete. As a result is desirable to compute upper and lower bounds that avoid the exponential computation likely required by exact algorithms. Two methods are considered for computing lower bounds on two-terminal reliability
