Comparing CAN- and Ethernet-based Communication
A direct comparison between CAN and Ethernet is surely not possible, because Ethernet does not provide a secure communication: An Ethernet receiver only checks if a received frame is correct. If not, it simply discards the frame, there is no information of the transmitter and therefore no re-transmission initiated. To provide this, we need an additional higher protocol layer like TCP/IP to get a response or confirmation message... |
