Abstract
A device may receive a network identifier and roaming policy information associated with the network identifier. The roaming policy information may identify a manner in which to treat traffic associated with mobile devices that are associated with a home network identified by the network identifier. The device may store the network identifier and the roaming policy information using a global roaming policy data structure. The device may provide the network identifier and the roaming policy information to a mobility management entity device for storage using a local roaming policy data structure accessible by the mobility management entity device. The mobility management entity device may be one of multiple mobility management entity devices having access to respective local roaming policy data structures.
