Many network protocols are described using the seven
layer Open System Interconnection (OSI) model, as
shown in Figure 1. The Controller Area Network (CAN)
protocol defines the Data Link Layer and part of the
Physical Layer in the OSI model. The remaining physi-
cal layer (and all of the higher layers) are not defined by
the CAN specification. These other layers can either be
defined by the system designer, or they can be imple-
mented using existing non-proprietary Higher Layer
Protocols (HLPs) and physical layers.
The Data Link Layer is defined by the CAN specifica-
tion. The Logical Link Control (LLC) manages the over-
load control and notification, message filtering and
recovery management functions. The Medium Access
Control (MAC) performs the data encapsulation/decap-
sulation, error detection and control, bit stuffing/de-
stuffing and the serialization and deserialization
functions.M AN228
