Abstract
This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for allocating internet protocol (IP) addresses for data sessions based on a location of a visited network. A home network can receive a request to establish a data session for a user equipment (UE) subscribed to the home network and located on a visited network operated by a visited network operator. The home network may identify a country in which the UE or the visited network is located and determine, based on a look-up table, a group of IP addresses associated with the country. The home network can allocate, from the group of IP addresses associated with the country, an IP address for the data session. In doing so, the IP address can be allocated based on the location of the visited network.
