4.2.1 The Data Frame

The data frame is the most common message type, and comprises the Arbitration Field, the Data Field, the CRC Field, and the Acknowledgment Field. The Arbitration Field contains an 11-bit identifier in Figure 2 and the RTR bit, which is dominant for data frames. In Figure 3, it contains the 29-bit identifier and the RTR bit. Next is the Data Field which contains zero to eight bytes of data, and the CRC Field which contains the 16-bit checksum used for error detection. Last is the Acknowledgment Field.
