Claim 0:
1. A system that operates in 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 system being one node in the local mesh network of nodes, said system facilitating an edge synchronization platform and comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more hardware storage devices that store instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to:
access a network communication that is destined for the WAN but that is not directly deliverable to the WAN as a result of the system having no WAN connection, the system being said edge node;
perform a wrapping operation on the network communication, wherein performing the wrapping operation results in generation of a wrapped data packet, wherein the wrapped data packet comprises 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;
determine, based on the destination indicator, a recipient node for the wrapped data packet, wherein the recipient node is included in the mesh network, and wherein determining the recipient node is performed using a dynamic routing table; and
send the wrapped data packet to the recipient node.
