Table 2.1

A comparison of the key distinctions between federated learning and fully decentralized learning. Note that as with FL, decentralized learning can be further divided into different use-cases, with distinctions similar to those made in Table 1.1 comparing cross-silo and cross-device FL

Federated LearningFully Decentralized (Peer-to-Peer) Learning
OrchestrationA central orchestration server or service organizes the training, but never sees raw data.No centralized orchestration.
Wide-area communicationTypically a hub-and-spoke topology, with the hub representing a coordinating service provider (typically without data) and the spokes connecting to clients.Peer-to-peer topology, with a possibly dynamic connectivity graph.
