Abstract
A device may receive, from a service provider, a network address associated with a request for a service. The request for the service may be provided to the service provider by a user equipment associated with a network device. The device may receive, from the service provider, a query for a geolocation of the network device, and may determine the geolocation of the network device based on the network address. The device may provide the geolocation of the network device to the service provider.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a device and from a service provider, a network address associated with a request for a service,
- wherein the request for the service is provided to the service provider by a user equipment associated with a network device;
- receiving, by the device and from the service provider, a query for a geolocation of the network device;
- determining, by the device, the geolocation of the network device based on the network address;
- and
- providing, by the device, the geolocation of the network device to the service provider.
A device, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive, from a service provider, a network address associated with a request for a service,
- wherein the request for the service is provided to the service provider by a user equipment associated with a network device;
- receive, from the service provider, a query for a geolocation of the network device;
- determine the geolocation of the network device based on the network address;
- and
- provide the geolocation of the network device to the service provider to cause the service provider to assign a closest serving location for the service to the user equipment based on the geolocation of the network device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
- receive, from a service provider, a network address associated with a request for a service,
- wherein the request for the service is provided to the service provider by a user equipment associated with a network device;
- receive, from the service provider, a query for a geolocation of the network device;
- determine the geolocation of the network device based on the network address;
- and
- provide the geolocation of the network device to the service provider.
