A content-aware flow switch (110) intercepts a client content request in an IP network (100), and transparently directs the content request to a best-fit server. The best-fit server is chosen based on the type of content requested, the quality of service requirements implied by the content request, the degree of load on available servers (100a-c), network congestion information, and the proximity of the client to available servers. The flow switch (110) detects client-server flows based on the arrival of TCP SYNs and/or HTTP GETs from the client.
