1. A method for routing an Internet Protocol (IP) data packet, wherein the method is implemented by a router system adapted to transceive the IP data packet with a radio access network (RAN) of a cellular network, and with the Internet, wherein the router system comprises a processor and an operatively connected memory storing instructions executable by the processor to implement the method, and wherein the method comprises the steps of:
(a) storing a device group relationship defining a set of unique device identifiers of a plurality of wireless computer devices;
(b) receiving, via the RAN but without traversing the Internet, the IP data packet including a unique device identifier of a source wireless computer device that generated the IP data packet; and
(c) forwarding, via the RAN but without traversing the Internet, the IP data packet to a destination wireless computer device, wherein the forwarding is conditional on the set of unique device identifiers comprising both a unique device identifier of the destination wireless computer device, and the unique device identifier of the source wireless computer device included in the IP data packet.
