Abstract :
The SeaNet project is a collaborative effort to extend the usefulness of demonstrated oceanographic communication techniques through the application of standards-based network technologies. Its main purpose is to integrate communications technologies already proved useful to the oceanographic community rather than to develop new communications links. A primary goal is to facilitate an infrastructure, or mesh, of communications links over (and through) the ocean using Internet protocols (IP) so a combination of various telemetry methods can eventually be used to provide user-transparent links to at-sea computing platforms, or nodes. The SeaNet Lite project developed and operated a working prototype using TCP/IP protocols over an INMARSAT B link to support wireline logging in the Ocean Drilling Program
