Cars' high mobility and density impede the direct utilization of traditional networking techniques and protocols in vehicular networks. In this context, automatic IP address configuration is a challenging and yet unexplored issue. We propose a novel scheme that exploits the topology of Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) and an enhanced Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service with dynamically elected leaders to provide reliable and fast address configuration.
