Abstract
A network device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive, from a first service provider, a file transfer request that includes at least a network location corresponding to a file to be transferred; determine whether the network location is internal or external to a second service provider network to which the network device belongs; modify the network location when it is determined that the network location included in the file transfer request is external to the second service provider network; retrieve the file to be transferred using the modified network location; and forward the retrieved file to a terminating user equipment (UE) device.
