Personal-area networks already exist. Phone/watch/laptop etc.

Virtual machines are common, e.g. for running multiple different operating
systems on your computer.

And automotive networks need connectivity.

There are often separate VLANs for VOIP and IP TV and smart meters.

Separate wifi networks tuned for low-latency synchronized audio.

So it's very common to have multiple networks in a home with multiple
layers of routing.
