Abstract: Embodiments include determining attributes of a property using an incubation pool. An incubation period is identified based on estimated attributes for the property, and based on rules that define a minimum and a maximum incubation time. The property is added to the incubation pool, and load and patterns for the property are analyzed. A load size and/or a traffic type for the property is identified based on the incubation. Embodiments also include offloading traffic within a CDN. A load balancer agent determines that traffic at an edge data center should be offloaded to the other edge data centers. The load balancer agent sends a request, including a determined priority level. The load balancer agent receives one or more replies indicating that resources are available for use. The load balancer agent sorts the replies and offloads traffic to at least one edge data center.
