Abstract
One or more devices may receive, from a user device via a first communication layer associated with a first network device, a request to add a second communication layer associated with a second network device; generate an instruction, based on receiving the request, to aggregate first data flow and the second data flow, to be provided via the first and second communication layers; and provide, to the second network device and based on generating the instruction, a response to indicate that the one or more devices are prepared to aggregate the first and second data flows. The response may include an instruction to direct the second network device to establish a simultaneous connection with the user device while the user device is connected to the first network device and to establish the connection with the user device via the second communication layer.
