A mobility management entity device (MME) may receive a request from a user device to attach to a network. The request to attach to the network may include a user device identifier for the user device. The MME may receive, from a home subscriber server (HSS) and based on the user device identifier for the user device, information relating to the user device. The information may include at least one connection parameter. The at least one connection parameter may include at least information indicating whether a bearer should be allocated to the user device. The MME may establish a network connection for the user device based on the at least one connection parameter. The MME may cause traffic to be routed from the user device based on the at least one connection parameter.
