Identifying geographic locations for home routed roamers using ip address pools

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing instructions that are operative upon execution by the processor to:
• publish, at a network location server accessible by a network resource, a set of indications of visited countries each associated with a pool of assignable IP addresses;
• identify, by a first wireless network, that a user equipment (UE) is roaming on a visited network operating in a visited country, wherein the UE comprises a home subscriber of the first wireless network;
• identify, by the first wireless network, the visited country;
• assign, by the first wireless network, to the UE, a first internet protocol (IP) address, wherein the first IP address indicates a first country in which the first wireless network operates but does not indicate the visited country and the visited network, and wherein the first IP address is assigned in accordance with the visited country or the visited network and the set of indications of visited countries;
• receive, by the first wireless network, from the UE, a data packet addressed to a network resource across a computer network;
• and
• forward, by the first wireless network, the data packet to the network resource.

One or more computer storage devices having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, which, upon execution by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

• publishing, at a network location server accessible by a network resource, a set of indications of visited countries each associated with a pool of assignable IP addresses;
• identifying, by a first wireless network, that a user equipment (UE) is roaming on a visited network operating in a visited country, wherein the UE comprises a home subscriber of the first wireless network;
• identifying, by the first wireless network, the visited country;
• assigning, by the first wireless network, to the UE, a first internet protocol (IP) address, wherein the first IP address indicates a first country in which the first wireless network operates but does not indicate the visited country and the visited network, and wherein the first IP address is assigned in accordance with the visited country or the visited network and the set of indications of visited countries;
• receiving, by the first wireless network, from the UE, a data packet addressed to a network resource across a computer network;
• and
• forwarding, by the first wireless network, the data packet to the network resource.
