  • Patent number: 9843826
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a data processor and data processing method that facilitate properly processing a stream. An input stream is formed by a plurality of packets. Each of the packets of the input stream is distributed to one of a plurality of channels and null packets (NP) are distributed to the other channels. This divides the input stream into divided streams on a plurality of channels including the packets of the input stream at a predetermined density. The present invention can be used, for example, for a channel bonding (CB) technique in which an input stream is divided into a plurality of channels and transmitted.
