Routing priority traffic in internet protocol (ip) multimedia subsystem (ims) over a wireless access network based on ip address

One or more on-transitory computer-readable storage devices configured to store computer-readable instructions, which, upon execution by one or more computing devices cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first data packet associated with a first Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) session or transaction between a first user equipment (UE) and an IMS over an IP network,
• determining, based on information included in the first data packet, that an IP address of the first UE is included in a list of IP addresses stored at the IMS module, wherein the IMS module is configured with the list that represents UEs deemed to receive priority service, and wherein the IP addresses are assigned by a Packet Core Network, to the UEs deemed to receive priority service during set-up of corresponding IMS protocol data unit (PDU) sessions with the UEs, and
• responsive to determining that the IP address of the first UE is included in the list of IP addresses stored at the IMS module, routing and processing the first data packet over a first set of network resources configured to provide the priority service.
