1. A method, comprising:
- facilitating establishing, by a system including a processor, a first communication path through an overlay network between a mobile device and customer premises equipment, the customer premises equipment being registered with a content delivery network based on a first electronic serial number, the mobile device being registered with the content delivery network based on a second electronic serial number;
exchanging encryption keys with the mobile device;
verifying, by the system, that incoming content is authorized based on the encryption keys exchanged with the mobile device, wherein the verifying further comprises preventing, based on the encryption keys, a rogue system impersonating the customer premises equipment from accessing the content;
selectively transferring, by the system, the content from the mobile device along the first communication path to the customer premises equipment;
facilitating establishing, by the system, a second communication path through the overlay network between the mobile device and the customer premises equipment responsive to a determination that the first communication path is overloaded; and
transferring, by the system, the content from the mobile device along the second communication path to the customer premises equipment responsive to a determination that bandwidth is limited, wherein the content from the mobile device is prioritized over other content for transfer along the second communication path to the customer premises equipment in response to the determination that the bandwidth is limited, wherein a bit rate of the content is reduced according to the bandwidth by the mobile device prior to transferring the content at a reduced rate to the customer premises equipment, wherein the content is provided, in part, to the customer premises equipment at the reduced rate by reducing the bit rate of the content,wherein the content is captured by the mobile device when the bandwidth is insufficient for a real-time stream, andwherein the content is formatted by the mobile device based on capabilities of an available display device.

Abstract
A content delivery network includes an overlay network having a plurality of cache servers. Each cache server configured to receive a request from a personal content server to register with the content delivery network, receive a request from a mobile capture device to establish communication with the personal content server, and establish a communication path through the overlay network between the mobile capture device and the personal content server. Each cache server is further configured to transfer content from the mobile capture device along the communication path to the personal content server.
