I am thinking to develop a P2P CDN service network based on home network. My understanding is that the upstream and downstream speeds are equal. I am not sure if this is against the network service providers' policies. Anybody knows? or where can I find help?

Downstream rates are usually an order of magnitude faster than upstream.
I've heard of some municipal fiber networks the offer symmetric service, but that is not the norm, at least in the US.
You would have to check the terms of service of every ISP that might be part of the network.

Some ISPs have "no servers" policies but I've never heard of them being enforced. Skype was pretty successful with their supernodes back in the day (although they were mostly in dorms not homes).
