Hi Ibrahim,
The Handbook - CAN page is a great resource, with example schematic and code and the library API. In case you are not aware, you must have at least two nodes on a CAN network - the other nodes provide an "in-frame" acknowledge that permits proper operation.
CAN data rate is typically anywhere between 10 Kbits/sec and 1 Mbits/sec, with commonly used values of 100K, 250K, 500K and 1M. There is an API to set the frequency, which is the data signaling rate.
