Reception apparatus, transmission apparatus, and data processing method

A data processing method for a reception apparatus that includes

• a demodulation section configured to demodulate a packet included in each of a plurality of PLPs of a broadcast stream, and
• a processing section configured to process the packet demodulated by the demodulation section,
• the demodulation section and the processing section being interconnected via a single interface,
• the data processing method comprising the step of:
• causing the processing section to identify the PLP to which the packet input via the single interface from the demodulation section belongs on the basis of information for identifying the PLP to which the packet belongs.

A transmission apparatus comprising:

• a processing section configured to process a packet included in each of a plurality of PLPs of a broadcast stream;
• and
• a modulation section configured to modulate the packet to be processed by the processing section,
• the broadcast stream including information for identifying the PLP to which the packet belongs.
