A device receives Internet protocol (IP) traffic flow data from network devices of a wireless network, groups the network devices into sets based on the IP traffic flow data, and estimates, based on the sets, information associated with the network devices. The device also groups the network devices into clusters based on the estimated information, ranks the clusters, and assigns IP address pools to each of the network devices based on the ranked clusters. The device further provides the assigned IP address pools to authorization, authentication, accounting (AAA) devices of the wireless network.
