In Plan 9 you did have a real (synthetic) /net, and could do that and more from any program. You could even mount /net from another machine via 9P protocol and have an instant VPN...

9front lets you play with that on Linux.

Some Plan 9 like /net things are visible in Go libraries... (Rob Pike legacy)
