Hi Ruslanas,

The Neutron IP allocator does not do sequential allocation any more, it 
will choose randomly from a set of available IPs in the subnet.  So the 
odds of this happening are small, although not zero.  The only way to 
change this would be to write your own IPAM driver to do allocation in a 
specific way if that is required.
