Has this model been practical in any way?

If so for what?

Apparently, no MultiNet-based code nor data of or from MultiNet is publicly available, making it impossible to compare it to the state of the art. (According to [descriptions](http://extras.springer.com/2006/978-3-540-24461-5/bu-gesamt-pdf.pdf), it *is* roughly comparable to the [rebooted AMR framework](https://amr.isi.edu/), although possibly more consistent and principled.) However, with the current degree of inavailability, it simply *does not exist* as a scientific resource, whereas the existing tools are probably too specialized (or too much of a research prototype) to be of general interest. The question about practical relevance is thus still open. Chiarcos (talk) 13:00, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do we need a disambiguation page?

Since MultiNet is also the name of a TCP/IP stack published by Process Software LLC, I think we need a disambiguation page for this word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neilrieck (talk • contribs) 12:12, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree- MultiNet from Process Software provides multiple networking service clients and servers on openVMS systems. I used multinet on a vax system in Berkeley in the 1990's, and have it running now on a vax emulator VM. OpenVMS may be mainly of historical interest, but I understand there are quite a few systems running in niche environments where extremely high reliability is required or the companies were unwilling to invest the resources to re-develop their applications to run on newer systems.
