From Microchip Technology, Inc.

The Microchip PIC18XXX8 family of microcontrollers provide an integrated Controller Area Network (CAN) solution along with other PICmicro® features. Although originally intended for the automotive industry, CAN is finding its way into other control applications. In CAN, a protocol message with highest priority wins the bus arbitration and maintains the bus control. For minimum message latency and bus control, messages should be transmitted on a priority basis.
