Description
With local can resources in place (see #1287 ), we can add remote access with NetworkCANPort. We discussed the approach at EOSS2023. Pengutronix guys suggest bridging by one of these tools:
The idea of bridging is similar to NetworkSerialPort. We will start a daemon on an exporter. A client will create a local vcan<x> interface by connecting to the daemon.
I don't know about these projects, so if there is any recommendation which is better to start with, please let me know.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the local CAN resources from #1287 and the existing NetworkSerialPort approach. Compare cannelloni and socketcand for the proposed exporter daemon and client-created vcan interface, then clarify the preferred bridge before defining implementation and test scope. Done means remote CAN access is available through a selected bridge.
