Summary:A device in a network may be configured to: receive a request from a User Equipment (UE) device to establish a session with a network slice in the network; obtain a device type of the UE device; select, by using the device type, a Session Management Function (SMF), among a set of SMFs, which manages sessions for UE devices of the device type; and send a message to the selected SMF to create a session context. When the selected SMF receives the message, the selected SMF is configured to select a User Plane Function (UPF) based on the device type and cause the selected UPF to establish the session between the UE device and the network slice.
