Abstract
A system may receive, based on a generic access point name stored by a user device, a request to establish a network connection. The request may include a user device identifier that identifies the user device. The system may determine, based on the user device identifier, a specific access point name associated with the user device. The specific access point name may be different from the generic access point name. The system may determine, based on the specific access point name, information that identifies a gateway node for processing traffic associated with the user device. The system may cause the network connection to be established based on the user device identifier and the information that identifies the gateway node.
