+NetStream Drivers
+=================
+
+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.
+
+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 :doc:`../tutorials/tls`).
