Abstract

A device is configured to receive an authentication credential from a user device, and is configured to authenticate the user device based on the authentication credential. The device is configured to transmit, based on authenticating the user device, a first application for establishing a tunnel that permits the user device to access a second application using an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) network architecture. The device is configured to establish, based on the first application, a tunnel for transferring IMS traffic to or from the user device, and is configured to transfer the IMS traffic to or from the user device, using the tunnel, where transferring the IMS traffic permits the user device to access the second application.
