Abstract
According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for time-shifted uploading of a data file through a backhaul network to a backend provider is provided. The method may include intercepting an upload request from an originating user located at a network edge. The method may include caching the data file associated with the upload request upstream of the backhaul network. This method may include uploading a placeholder file to the backend provider. The method may include receiving a file ID from the backend provider. The method may include mapping the received file ID to the cached data file. The method may include intercepting a request to access the data file by a requesting user. The method may include sending the requesting user the cached data file. The method may include uploading a copy of the data file to the backend provider based on a backhaul utilization policy.
