Controller Area Network (CAN) is a slow (up to 1Mbit/s) serial
communications protocol which was developed by Bosch in
1991, mainly for automotive, but now widely used in marine

More information on the CAN network protocol family PF_CAN

communications protocol. Development of the CAN bus started in
1983 at Robert Bosch GmbH, and the protocol was officially
released in 1986. The CAN bus was originally mainly for automotive,
but is now widely used in marine (NMEA2000), industrial, and medical
applications. More information on the CAN network protocol family
PF_CAN is contained in <Documentation/networking/can.rst>.
