Summary: One of the important and universal characteristics of the network performance for both a user and a network owner is the probability of the network service availability at any time. To obtain an accurate estimate of the probability of a particular network service availability in the class of binary stochastic models, effective methods of structure function decomposition are used. The paper discusses the issues of obtaining accurate estimates of the probability of network service availability for arbitrary pairs of network nodes. Lower bound and upper bound estimates for the probability of network service availability are constructed for large dimension networks with a complex structure.
