Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing routing of network traffic across one or more network nodes or utilization of the one or more network nodes based on one or more demand classifications and/or based on detection of a trigger event associated with the one or more demand classifications. In some embodiment, a computing system might monitor network traffic across one or more network nodes or utilization of the one or more network nodes, the network traffic being routed based on a first demand classification. The computing system might determine whether at least one trigger event associated with a second demand classification has occurred. If so, the computing system might adjust the routing of the network traffic across the one or more network nodes or adjust the utilization of the one or more network nodes, based at least in part on the second demand classification.
