A data processing apparatus includes a receiving unit for receiving a packet, a determining unit for determining whether to process the packet data by a self-module, based on first information contained in the packet and indicating a processing order, a processing unit for processing the data if the data should be processed by the self-module, a generating unit for generating a packet containing the first information, and one of the processed data, and second information indicating that the data to be processed is stalled, and a transmitting unit for transmitting, according to the first information, the packet to a module expected to process the packet next. The transmitting unit performs the transmission at a transmission interval longer than a predetermined time, if the first and second information indicate that the packet contains data which should be processed by a module next to the self-module in processing order and is stalled.
