Abstract
A device receives Internet protocol (IP) addresses and metrics associated with network nodes of a network, and stores the IP addresses and the metrics in a route table. The device receives, from a user equipment, a request to connect to the network, and determines a particular network node, of the network nodes, to which to forward a communication session of the user equipment, based on the request and based on the metrics stored in the route table. The device forwards the communication session of the user equipment to the particular network node, and the particular network node enables the user equipment to connect to the network.
