1. A method, comprising:
with regard to a data session between a device and an application, the data session initiated via an anchor network device while the device was determined to be at a first location, and in response to determining that a condition associated with the data session has occurred at a second location where the device is determined to be located, determining, by a system comprising a processor, whether an interruption of the data session is permitted based on a preference associated with the device, wherein the anchor network device is associated with a first data network device of a first data network associated with the first location; and
based on the condition, and in response to determining that the interruption of the data session for a defined amount of time is not permitted, connecting, by the system, the device to a serving network device associated with a second data network device of a second data network associated with the application and the second location, to enable the data session to continue via the serving network device instead of via the anchor network device, wherein a portion of data traffic of the data session is communicated between the device and the application via the serving network device without communicating the portion of the data traffic via the anchor network device.
