Abstract: P2P streaming is a promising media content distribution technology. Network coding can be adopted into a P2P streaming system to further improve its overall performance. Focused on currently popular data driven overlay network based P2P streaming system framework and based on two streaming modes, i. e.，live streaming and on-demand streaming,the implementation mechanisms,merits and drawbacks of the typical P2P streaming schemes using network coding were discussed in detail. At last, the open issues of this research direction were presented.
