Abstract

A device is configured to receive a request to provide data traffic associated with a user device. The device is configured to determine network information associated with a set of networks. The device may be associated with a small cell long term evolution (“LTE”) network, which may connect to the set of networks. The set of networks may include a macro cell LTE network and a fiber optic network. The network information may include information that identifies a condition of the set of networks. The device is configured to identify a particular network, of the set of networks, based on the network information, and provide the data traffic, via the small cell LTE network and the particular network, based on identifying the particular network.
