1. At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
receiving, on a first interface, an interest packet to start a federated learning round, the interest packet including a participant criterion and a federated learning round expiration;
creating an entry in a pending interest table (PIT) for the interest packet, the entry including the federated learning round expiration;
forwarding, in accordance with a forwarding information base (FIB), the interest packet to a set of interfaces before the federated learning round expiration;
receiving, from a second interface in the set of interfaces, a data packet from a node in response to the interest packet, the node meeting the participant criterion; and
forwarding the data packet on the first interface in accordance with the PIT entry.
