A system and method for managing a user equipment (UE) device coupled to a network serviced by a service provider in which standard Internet Protocol (IP) traffic, that is not LTE traffic, is received from a network serviced by a service provider that was generated by the UE device having an IP address that causes the standard IP traffic to be routed to an evolved packet core (EPC) proxy unit. The EPC proxy unit identifies the IMSI for the UE device, requests a standard session from an EPC system based on the IMSI, and initiates a tunnel connection to a serving gateway for advanced processing by the EPC system. After advance processing has been performed, usage management and policy enforcement may be performed on the standard IP traffic prior to allowing the UE device to access a public data network.
