I believe they are used to synchronize the flash times. I'm not familiar with the Cannon (or non-Nikon for that matter) flash system.
The Nikon flash system has a built-in transmitter on certain camera body models and certain flash / commander models (SB800 or SU800) and receivers on all other current model flashes. So the user can have multiple flash units sitting on a stand or tripod and have control (flash timing, duration, etc) of each of them from the camera or commander / flash with the commander capability.
