Hi,

I did not know that there are different topologies for CAN bus.

Did you read CAN bus specification?

I think the term daisy chain is inadequate. It's usually referring to a topology where the signal is buffered or repeated inside the device. CAN bus is usually wired as party line with termination at both ends.

So CAN bus is almost similar to BUS network topology ? Such that every node recieves the messages simulataneously.

Yes, that's why we call it CAN bus.
