Presented by Raymarine in 2007, I am unable to find around a white
paper or some clear and complete presentation of this protocol.
Someone may give me an hint ?


As Seatalk has always a proprietary and thus closed protocol, I don't see
them publish any info on Seatalk NG....

If you do a google search on this news group, you'll see that I provided a
link to a document that describes the protocol for normal SeaTalk. The
author was very responsive in some questions that I had.

While I can't tell you if there are differences between normal SeaTalk and
SeaTalk NG, I would bet that they are the same and that main differences
are in the physical and datalink layers. IMHO, RayMarine has too much
invested in lots of software to be making fundamental changes in the
protocol.
