Provided is a method for providing Internet protocol (IP) handoff of a mobile node (MN) under a multiple mobile agent platform (MAP) environment. In the method, a registration request message for an IP handoff is received from an MN in a network including a plurality of MAPs, and information about the MN is shared with an MAP managing an area in which the MN is located before through a signal packet path. The signal packet path is established separately from a data packet path for transmitting signal packets associated with IP handoff. An IP handoff for the MN is provided based on the shared information. Therefore, a rapid IP handoff is possible since the two MAPs share information about the MN with each other.
