This paper targets the reliability analysis of a fault-tolerant MIN network (the ASEN-Max network) in a non-repairable context. We show that, under certain conditions concerning how the operation of the network is controlled, the network is non-coherent, preventing the use of combinatorial techniques. Finally, we examine the limitations of continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) techniques.
