Abstract
A method and apparatus to transfer a data session from one device connected to a residential gateway to another. The transfer is completed within the residential gateway, without routing data through the service provider's network. In one embodiment, a native address of a communication device engaged in an active data session is stored in a memory as a temporary device address. A session address in memory is set equal to the stored temporary device address and the temporary device address is associated with the session address in memory. When a request to transfer the data session to another device is received, the temporary device address in memory set to the native address of the new communication device and the session history is sent to the new device. Any new data received in the session, intended for the original device, is routed by a data session handling engine to the new communication device.
