Abstract
In this paper, we proposed an algorithm to estimate the reliability of a hybrid computer communication network. A hybrid computer network is a network that consists of wire and wireless sub networks. The proposed algorithm is built upon using a simulation model due to the complexity of the network topology. We tested the proposed algorithm, and the results show consistency in the reliability estimates.
