It's defined as 1024 in several places.  Mike McFaden offers a good
suggestion in the 3rd pointer above:

   I prefer that the minimum size a conformant
   implementation must support be defined.
   SNMP over UDP specifies a minimum message size of 484.
   If one wants to support a larger msg size, just configure for it.
   The same goes for switches these days too.
   Otherwise why not just recommend a transport that has
   path mtu discovery in cases where syslog msg length > 1024.

Any comments or other suggestions?
