Controller-area network (CAN or CAN-bus) is a computer network protocol and bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other without a host computer. It was designed specifically for automotive applications but is now also used in other areas. CAN is also supported in the Linux Kernel since version 2.6.25 Source: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controller_Area_Network)

Controller Area Network
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a broadcast, differential serial bus standard, originally developed in the 1980s by Robert Bosch GmbH, for connecting electronic control units (ECUs). CAN was specifically designed to be robust in electromagnetically noisy environments and can utilize a differential balanced line like RS-485. It can be even more robust against noise if twisted pair wire is used. Although initially created for automotive...

Controller Area Network Solutions FAQ
Controller Area Network (CAN) technology, as its name implied, is the network established among microcontrollers. Like computer network, it has the similar communication model to that defined by the ISO/OSI (International Standard Protocol/Open System Interconnection) 7-layer model. However, unlike computer network, it uses a much simplified model in which only 2 of the lowest stacks were defined, i.e. Data-Link Layer and Physical Layer (see...
