The present invention relates to an arrangement, in a communications network, for allocating addresses to users or clients connecting to the network. It comprises at least one address holding means holding a plurality of addresses and allocating control means for, from said address holding means, allocating addresses to the users or clients, and for detecting when an address is released or when a user or a client allocated an address disconnects. It further comprises, for each pool of addresses, delay means for allowing control of the minimum time period to lapse before an address having been allocated to a user is reused, i.e. again allocated to a user, such that a minimum time period before reuse of each address can be guaranteed.
