You cannot retrieve IP address from http request. Ballerina has Remote host/port in endpoint to construct the address. Please check following code snippet.

@http:ResourceConfig {
    path:"/local",
    methods:["GET"]
}
sample (endpoint caller, http:Request req) {
    string remoteHost = caller.remote.host;
    int remotePort = caller.remote.port;

}
