Goby-Acomms version 2: extensible marshalling, queuing, and link layer interfacing for acoustic telemetry

We present the Goby-Acomms project version 2 (Goby2) which provides software for communication amongst autonomous marine vehicles over extremely bandwidth-constrained links. Goby2's modular design provides four discrete yet interoperable components: 1) physics-oriented marshalling via the Dynamic Compact Control Language (DCCL); 2) dynamic priority queuing; 3) time division multiple access (TDMA) medium access control (MAC); 4) and an extensible link-layer interface (ModemDriver).
