1. A port controller comprising:
a memory including a database for storing mapping records; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to:
receive packetized data from a source application server coupled to the port controller;
process the packetized data to generate metadata including at least content metadata;
generate an application server attribute for the packetized data, the application server attribute corresponding to the generated metadata;
search the mapping records to determine if the mapping records include a destination location corresponding to the application server attribute;
if the destination location is included in the mapping records, transmit, via a network fabric, the packetized data to the destination location included in the mapping records; and
otherwise, if the destination location is not included in the mapping records:
transmit the application server attribute to a fabric controller associated with the network fabric;
receive the destination location from the fabric controller; and
transmit the packetized data to the destination location received from the fabric controller.
