The objective of the invention is to provide an arrangement in which a piece of encoded data is divided into several pieces of data, the amount of each of which is equal to or less than the maximum data transmission unit (MTU) specified for a communication path, then transmitted, and then reconstructed for playback on a reception apparatus side. A transmission apparatus divides a piece of encoded data, which is to be transmitted, into several pieces of divisional data, the amount of each of which is equal to or less than the maximum data transmission unit (MTU) specified for a communication path, and then generates and sequentially transmits a plurality of packets each of which stores a respective one of the several pieces of divisional data and each of which also stores additional information serving as arrangement information for that respective one of the several pieces of divisional data. For example, NAL unit fragments into which a NAL unit is further divided are stored in the respective packets and then transmitted. A reception apparatus refers to the additional information in the packets, thereby arranging the NAL unit fragments divisionally stored in the respective packets, thereby reconstructing the NAL unit, and then decodes the NAL unit. |
