Claim 15:
16. A method for transmitting data through a local mesh network of nodes in which an edge node, which has no connection with a wide area network (WAN) and which is included in the local mesh network of nodes, uses a serial chain of short-range communication connections to transmit data through the local mesh network of nodes until the data reaches another node, which includes a connection with the WAN and which is also included in the local mesh network of nodes, thereby enabling the data to be provided to the WAN, said method being performed by a node in the local mesh network, said node facilitating an edge synchronization platform, said method comprising:
receiving a wrapped data packet from another node in the local mesh network, the wrapped data packet being generated based on a network communication that is destined for the WAN but that was not originally directly deliverable to the WAN as a result of whatever node that generated the network communication having no WAN connection, the wrapped data packet comprising a destination indicator, and wherein the wrapped data packet is structured for transmittal through the serial chain of short-range communication connections of the local mesh network of nodes for delivery to the WAN;
determining, based on the destination indicator, a recipient node for the wrapped data packet, wherein:
the recipient node is also included in the local mesh network,
said determination is performed using a dynamic routing table,
the dynamic routing table comprises a conflict-free replicated data type, and
each node in the local mesh network maintains a corresponding replica of the dynamic routing table; and

in response to determining that the recipient node is said node, performing an unwrapping operation on the wrapped data packet.
