Abstract: Network reliability describes network connectivity ability when network is in outage. A general formula to calculate network reliability is found. The formula can be used in all failure conditions. The complexityof the formula roughly equals complexity of formulas which are used only in node failures or only in edge failures. The formula successfully extends usage areafrom node failures or edge failures only to all failure conditions.

Key words: mixed network, reliability, connectivity
