A device receives a priority configuration for a subscriber associated with a user device, and monitors resource utilization information associated with an Internet protocol (IP) wireless access network of the user device. The device also detects an initial attach request of the user device to the IP wireless access network, and determines whether to accept or deny the initial attach request based on the subscriber priority configuration and the resource utilization information. The device further provides, to the user device and when the initial attach request is denied, a time for the user device to attempt a re-attach to the IP wireless access network, and permits, when the initial attach request is accepted, the user device to access the IP wireless access network.
