{code}
.description("Determines the size of each receive buffer. The Syslog 
specification limits a message to 1024 bytes so " +
+                    "this buffer size should generally not need to exceed that 
size.")
{code}

While it truly doesn't matter - given the value is configurable - I don't think 
this 1024 bytes is correct on modern systems, e.g:

RHEL 6 = 2048 
http://serverfault.com/questions/576904/rsyslog-udp-forwarding-truncates-at-2048-characters

Rsyslog8 = 4096

Syslog-ng = 8192
