<p>The invention concerns a method whereby a first list (L) of address values and a second list (M) of reference numbers are kept by ordering the values of the first list and by associating respectively pairs of consecutive values of the first list to numbers of the second list, each pair of consecutive values of the first list delimiting an interval of addresses whereof the number of references allocated is equal to the number of the second list associated with said pair. In response to a request for an allocation of a reference to a group of addresses, the method consists in determining on the basis of the first and second lists whether there occurs a situation wherein the processing of said request is likely to increase the number of references allocated to one or several addresses of the group in excess of a limit associated with said address and in refusing the request if said situation occurs.</p> |
