The main task of an address auto-configuration protocol is to manage the resource address space. It must be able to select, allocate, and assign a unique network address to an un-configured node. We present the VASM protocol [1], which allows nodes in an ad hoc network to configure their own IP address automatically. Due to the mobility of nodes, different networks can overlap, and nodes with the same address can accidentally get in contact. This paper proposes an innovative management of such merging of networks. The scheme uses virtual address space for addressing new nodes joining a network. The aim is to map one point from virtual address sheet to exactly one new node. The reason for using the term "virtual" is that the whole corresponding address space is a 2D flat sheet and each point of this sheet is virtually mapped to a node in MANET. The protocol uses coordinate values for generating addresses. This paper offers the high speed prediction of address space conflicts existence and it proposes a progressive method to avoid generating a huge amount of traffic on the wireless channels. Simulation experiments were performed using the behavioral analyzing to evaluate the performance of the protocol in terms of overhead and latency.
