A reception apparatus comprising: a first obtaining unit obtaining first meta data including class information for providing a service identified by an IP address and transmitted by a broadcast wave of digital broadcast using an Internet Protocol, IP, transmission method and/or by broadband communication, wherein the class information includes resolution information of the service, which is a layer-coded service, and bootstrap information for obtaining second meta data including information about a stream of a component, wherein the first meta data is data in a binary format and is first signaling data transmitted in a lower layer than an IP layer in a protocol stack of the IP transmission method and the second meta data is data in a text format and is second signaling data transmitted in a parent layer with respect to the IP layer in the protocol stack of the IP transmission method; a second obtaining unit for obtaining the second meta data on the basis of the bootstrap information; and a control unit controlling reproduction of the component by connecting to a stream of the component constituting the service on the basis of the class information included in the first meta data and on the basis of the second meta data, characterized in that the component constituting the service and the stream of the second signaling data are received in a Real-time Object Delivery over Unidirectional Transport, ROUTE, session obtained by expanding File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport, FLUTE, by use of a Transport Object Identifier, TOI, and a Transport Session Identifier, TSI, wherein the TOI and TSI are two pieces of identification information designating in a ROUTE session a particular file to be transmitted. a first obtaining unit obtaining first meta data including class information for providing a service identified by an IP address and transmitted by a broadcast wave of digital broadcast using an Internet Protocol, IP, transmission method and/or by broadband communication, wherein the class information includes resolution information of the service, which is a layer-coded service, and bootstrap information for obtaining second meta data including information about a stream of a component, wherein the first meta data is data in a binary format and is first signaling data transmitted in a lower layer than an IP layer in a protocol stack of the IP transmission method and the second meta data is data in a text format and is second signaling data transmitted in a parent layer with respect to the IP layer in the protocol stack of the IP transmission method; a second obtaining unit for obtaining the second meta data on the basis of the bootstrap information; and a control unit controlling reproduction of the component by connecting to a stream of the component constituting the service on the basis of the class information included in the first meta data and on the basis of the second meta data, characterized in that the component constituting the service and the stream of the second signaling data are received in a Real-time Object Delivery over Unidirectional Transport, ROUTE, session obtained by expanding File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport, FLUTE, by use of a Transport Object Identifier, TOI, and a Transport Session Identifier, TSI, wherein the TOI and TSI are two pieces of identification information designating in a ROUTE session a particular file to be transmitted.
