ABSTRACT:
A system and apparatus for redirecting wireless network traffic. Embodiments include determining when a roaming mobile station initiates a registration attempt with a non-preferred network and causing the roaming mobile station to initiate a registration attempt with a preferred network. Embodiments further include a traffic redirection network entity including a traffic redirection node, a traffic redirection application, and a traffic redirection probe.
