Abstract
The invention relates to a process for assignment, by an addressing server for a network, of a network address to a terminal network-element connected to one of the connection ports of one of the interconnection network-elements of said network, comprising: transmission of a network address request by said terminal network-element to said interconnection network-element, the determination by said interconnection network-element of a location of said terminal network-element where said location combines a topological identifier for said interconnection network-element with at least one identifier for said connection port, the transmission by said interconnection network-element to said addressing server of said request with said location, assignment by said addressing server to said terminal network-element of said network address based on said location.
