What is the mechanism for sending more than eight bytes of data?

During an interview for a CAN Developer's position, you will be asked a variety of different questions about the technology, operations, procedures, and processes used in this profession. While there is no way to know exactly the questions you will be asked, you can narrow things down by researching the organization, the role, and possibly even the interviewer before the interview. This will provide you with information about the company's products and services, the technologies they use, and questions the interviewer may have used in previous interviews. Sources for this information include the company's website, industry publications and blogs, and speaking with both current and former members of the CAN development team. The more educated you are before attending the interview, the more likely you will perform well.

"When transmitting more than eight bytes of data across a CAN bus, you are required to divide the data into packets. This enables the data to be sent effectively with little chance of data loss during a transmission. It also corresponds to commonly used industry transport protocols. The transport protocols are either specific to broadcast or node-to-node transmissions. Within each transport protocol are several layers which manage the different aspects of the data transmission."
