+<body>
+<h1>Network Stream Drivers</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 href="rsyslog_tls.html">TLS-protected syslog transmission</a>).</p><p>The following drivers exist:</p><ul><li><a href="ns_ptcp.html">ptcp</a> - the plain tcp network transport (no security)</li><li><a href="ns_gtls.html">gtls</a> - a secure TLS transport implemented via the GnuTLS library</li></ul>[<a href="rsyslog_conf.html">rsyslog.conf overview</a>]
