In this paper, we aim to improve Peer-to-Peer (P2P) video streaming by using advanced video coding techniques, mainly layered video and to design appropriate video streaming techniques based on Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the Scalable Video Coding (SVC) over JXTA P2P Network. On the other hand, we investigate the behavior of scaling a video stream by using the objective Quality of Experience (oQoE) with PSNR and the subjective Quality of Experience (sQoE), typically described by the Mean Opinion Score (MOS). Finally, we believe that our results show that the use of multi-layer video coding, such as SVC, is an important step towards the future generation of P2P Video on Demand (VoD) systems.
