1. A tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, effectuate operations comprising: (22) (6)

calling, with a computing system, a distributed application executing on a peer-to-peer network of computing devices of a set of base stations with a request, wherein the request comprises a set of request parameters, and wherein the request causes the distributed application to determine a set of candidate base stations from the set of base stations;

obtaining, with the computing system, a set of base station network parameters of the set of base stations;

selecting, with the computing system, the set of candidate base stations based on the set of base station network parameters and the set of request parameters;

determining, with the computing system, a route through the set of base stations based on the set of candidate base stations;

routing, with the computing system, a packet from a base station of the set of base stations through the route through the set of base stations; and

storing, with the computing system, an identifier associated with the route through the set of base stations in a tamper-evident, distributed ledger.

2. The medium of claim 1, wherein: (0) (3)

3. The medium of claim 1, the operations further comprising: (0) (2)

4. The medium of claim 1, the operations further comprising: (0) (3)

5. The medium of claim 1, the operations further comprising: (0) (2)

6. The medium of claim 1, the operations further comprising determining a current geolocation of a mobile computing device, wherein selecting the set of candidate base stations comprises querying a geographic information system based on the current geolocation of the mobile computing device. (0)

7. The medium of claim 1, the operations further comprising: (0) (4)

concurrently receiving a set of data at a first base station and a second base station;

computing a result based on the set of data at the first base station;

sending the result from the first base station to the second base station via the route through the set of base stations; and

updating an application state executing on the second base station based on the result.

8. The medium of claim 1, wherein the base station is a first base station, and wherein a mobile computing device is associated with an address, and wherein the operations further comprise: (0) (2)

9. The medium of claim 1, the operations further comprising storing a record of the base station in a tamper-evident, distributed ledger encoding records in a directed acyclic graph of cryptographic hash pointers. (0)

10. The medium of claim 1, the operations further comprising assigning a respective persistent name to each respective base station of the route through the set of base stations. (0)

11. The medium of claim 1, the operations further comprising: (0) (2)

12. The medium of claim 1, wherein the base station is a first base station, and wherein selecting the set of candidate base stations comprises: (0) (4)

obtaining a first score associated with the first base station;

obtaining a second score associated with a second base station;

comparing scores in a set of scores that comprises the first score and the second score to select the first score; and

selecting the first base station in response to the selection of the first score.

13. The medium of claim 1, wherein identifiers of the set of candidate base stations are arranged in a consecutive order around a ring data structure. (0)

14. The medium of claim 1, wherein selecting the set of candidate base stations comprises: (0) (2)

15. The medium of claim 1, wherein selecting the set of candidate base stations further comprises comparing a set of capabilities associated with the set of candidate base stations. (0)

16. The medium of claim 1, wherein the base station is a first base station, and wherein sending the packet from the first base station through the route through the set of base stations further comprises: (0) (2)

17. The medium of claim 1, wherein sending the packet from the base station through the route through the set of base stations comprises: (0) (4)

sending a set of data comprising a destination name;

parsing the set of data to obtain the destination name;

access a lookup data structure to determine a network address based on the destination name; and

send the packet from the base station to the network address using the route through the set of base stations.

18. The medium of claim 1, the operations further comprising: (0) (2)

19. The medium of claim 1, wherein: (0) (3)

20. The medium of claim 1, wherein: (0) (3)

21. The medium of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise steps for determining the route. (0)

22. The medium of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise steps for arriving at consensus. (0)

23. The medium of claim 1, wherein the base station is a first base station of a plurality of base stations, and wherein selecting the set of candidate base stations comprises: (0) (5)

determining a first set of values using a first computing device of the first base station;

distributing the first set of values from the first base station to a second base station;

determining an updated set of values using a second computing device of the second base station based on the first set of values;

selecting the first base station using a first comparison operation performed by the second computing device based on the set of values; and

selecting the first base station using a second comparison operation performed by the second computing device based on the updated set of values.

24. A method comprising: (0) (6)

obtaining, with the computing system, a set of base station network parameters of the set of base stations;

selecting, with the computing system, the set of candidate base stations based on the set of base station network parameters and the set of request parameters;

determining, with the computing system, a route through the set of base stations through the set of base stations based on the set of candidate base stations;

routing, with the computing system, a packet from a base station of the set of base stations through the route through the set of base stations; and

storing, with the computing system, an identifier associated with the route through the set of base stations in a tamper-evident, distributed ledger.
