Would something along the lines of 'Non-persistent topologically-correct' 
address work here?

The 'topologically-correct' component reflects the fact that the address is 
relevant/usable only on a specific network connection. The 'non-persistent' 
aspect indicates that this address can change (whether that be due to a change 
of attachment or not is immaterial in this context).

Granted it is a bit of a mouthful but perhaps the nuances of what is trying to 
be described require it?
