Layering of video stream in the Internet has been propounded as a promising way to satisfying receivers in heterogeneous environments. In this approach sender divides video stream into layers and sends them to receivers. The receivers accept and combine the layers based on their own capabilities. There are a number of layering techniques and this paper describes briefly the various video layering techniques and discusses the factors that influence the distribution of information among different layers and the decision of number of layers.
