Abstract:
1. A method for transferring CAN network frames between segments of a CAN network comprising: receiving a CAN network frame on one of said segments of the CAN network; removing stuff bits in a data field and removing a portion of said CAN network frame including an acknowledgement bit in a CAN trailer portion to create a non CAN frame for transmission to the other segment; transmitting said non CAN frame to said other segment; receiving said non CAN frame at said other segment; restoring said CAN network frame from said received frame by inserting, in said non CAN frame, said stuff bits and a reconstructed portion generated by said other segment that contains a same bit pattern as in said CAN network frame; and inserting said restored CAN network frame on said other segment.
