How many point-to-point WANs are needed to connect n LANs if each LAN should be able to directly communicate with any other LAN?
To connect ( n ) LANs such that each LAN can directly communicate with any other LAN, you need ( \frac{n(n-1)}{2} ) point-to-point WANs. This is because each LAN requires a dedicated connection to every other LAN, and since communication is bidirectional, each pair of LANs is connected by one WAN link. Thus, the formula accounts for all unique pairs of LANs.
