/**
* @defgroup sys_can CAN (Controller Area Network)
* @ingroup net
* @brief RIOT CAN stack
*
* This module is a full CAN stack integrated to RIOT.
* It includes a low-level interface, a data link layer, an ISO-TP layer and
* a user interface.
*
* The low-level interface, candev, must be implemented by controler drivers.
* The optional transceiver support can also be activated. Transceiver drivers must
* then implement the trx_can interface.
*
* The data link layer is built around a device thread (one thread per CAN device),
* and a common part. The common part is composed of the dll interface, for low-level
* calls (from the device) and the raw interface for upper-level calls.
* Internally it also uses the pkt module to allocate frames and the router module
* to manage CAN filters.
*
* The ISO-TP layer uses the data link layer to send and receive CAN frames.
*
* Finally, the connection layer is the user interface to send and receive raw
* CAN frames or ISO-TP datagrams.
