A client associated with a User Equipment (“UE”) may selectively apply traffic parameters to traffic associated with the particular application further based on whether a UE-side authorization of the particular application for the traffic parameters has been performed. The UE may present a user interface via which a user may select whether to authorize or deny the use of traffic parameters, authorized by the network, for the particular application. If the particular application has been authorized by both the network and the user of the UE, the UE may apply the traffic parameters to traffic associated with the particular application. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A device, comprising: one or more processors configured to: identify that a plurality of applications associated with the device, including a first and second application, are authorized by a network to use a particular set of traffic parameters;
