Hiding the network layer is often problematic.

Networks are much less reliable or predictable than a PCI or SATA bus. You have to honesty handle timeouts, unavailability, retries at the very least.

Hiding this from the user is usually a bad idea. An intelligent handling layer does help, but it cannot e.g. entirely mask unavailability.

So the common interface would have to be the handling-it-all interface, likely as a number if separate traits.
