Abstract

Advancement in acoustic modem technology has gradually brought underwater network into real life. Despite high cost of sea testing, there have been initial realization effort, such as Sea-Web, Aqua-Net, SUNSET, etc. As the main developers of Aqua-Net, through extensive testing experiences at different scales, we have recognized shortcomings of Aqua-Net and decided to design and implement the next generation of it. In this paper, we introduce SeaLinx as a new protocol stack architecture for underwater networking which (i) enables users to exploit their hardware more efficiently by allowing applications to run simultaneously on a modem, and (ii) provide better support for cross-layer communication.
