Dear folks,
        Until now, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are commonly used for improving the End User experience of a content delivery service while keeping cost at a reasonable level. However,photos, videos and other upstream traffics generated by smart devices grow drastically these days. On one hand, EUs like directly sharing their photos, videos by popular Cloud Computing services (such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc.), and on the other, smart devices are emerging that are not equipped with much storage (for example, some iphones only have 16G-storage ). For these reasons, EUs have to rely on large storage in cloud, such as iCloud, Baidu SkyDrive,360 Cloud Disk,etc. 
        Indeed, many Network Service Providers (NSPs) are deploying or have deployed their own" Content Upload Networks"(CUNs) to improve the uploading experience for the End User. Despite the potential benefits of interconnecting CDNs, today each CUN is a stand-alone network like their CDN counterparts former condition. 
      Subject to the policy of the Content Upload Networks, it is generally desirable that a given item of content can be uploaded to an Network Service Provider (NSP) regardless of that end user's location or attachment network. This is the motivation for interconnecting standalone CUNs so they can interoperate as an open content delivery infrastructure for the end-to-end delivery of content from End Users to Network Service Providers (NSPs).  
     Fortunately, the CDN can also provider acceleration service for uploading. It need add an uploading Interface to CDNI for uploading service.
    Thoughts?
