Methods and apparatus for handing off an end-point associated with a first device to a second device within a locally accessible network operating in an Internet protocol (IP) environment that supports multiple addresses for each device are provided. The first device is in a currently established session with a third device within the IP environment. End-point information associated with the end-point of the first device is locally transferred to the second device. A further end-point, compatible with the currently established session, is configured by the second device using the transferred end-point information. The second device broadcasts an announcement to the locally accessible network, including the router, that the second device is associated with the further end-point.
