1. A system for real-time managing a user equipment (UE) device configured to communicate over a network serviced by a service provider, the system comprising a memory bearing instructions that, when executed on the system, cause the system to at least:
receive from the network at an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) proxy unit standard Internet Protocol (IP) traffic, that is not LTE traffic, that was generated by the UE device, the UE device having an IP address, wherein the IP address is routed to the EPC proxy unit;
identify an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) for the UE device based on the IP address;
request of an EPC system through the EPC proxy unit a standard session initiation based on the IMSI for the UE device;
initiate a connection between the EPC proxy unit and a serving gateway of the EPC system for the standard IP traffic;
perform advanced processing on the standard IP traffic by the EPC system; and
perform one or more of usage management and policy enforcement on the standard IP traffic prior to allowing the UE device to access a public data network and after allowing the UE device to access a public data network.
