<h1>NetStream Drivers<a class="headerlink" href="#netstream-drivers" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Network stream drivers are a layer between various parts of rsyslogd
(e.g. the imtcp module) and the transport layer. They provide sequenced
delivery, authentication and confidentiality to the upper layers.
Drivers implement different capabilities.</p>
<p>Users need to know about netstream drivers because they need to
configure the proper driver, and proper driver properties, to achieve
desired results (e.g. a <a class="reference internal" href="../tutorials/tls.html"><span class="doc">Encrypting Syslog Traffic with TLS (SSL) [short version]</span></a>).</p>
