IPv6 over Controller Area Network
Alexander Wachter · 2020
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a fieldbus initially designed for automotive applications. It is a multi-master bus with 11-bit or 29-bit frame identifiers. The CAN standard (ISO 11898 series) defines the physical and data-link layer. This document describes how to transfer IPv6 packets over CAN using ISO-TP, a dedicated addressing scheme, and IP header compression (IPHC).
