One of the most important and useful features of CAN is its high reliability, even in extremely noisy environments. CAN provides a variety of mechanisms to detect errors in frames. This error detection is used to retransmit the frame until it is received successfully. CAN also provides an error confinement mechanism used to remove a malfunctioning device from the CAN network when a high percentage of its frames result in errors. This error confinement prevents malfunctioning devices from disturbing the overall network traffic.
