ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving a stream of content in a distributed storage system. According to the method, a stream of a copy of content is received from a plurality of storages being distributed in a network, wherein an original of the content is stored in a server and archival fragments of the copy of the content are separately stored in the storages, and a stream of the original content is selectively received according to the quality of the copy of the content, wherein the quality is determined based on the number of archival fragments received from the storages. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent degradation in the quality and reliability of content when archival fragments of a copy of the content are received from a distributed storage, thereby stably receiving a high-quality content streaming service.
