I don't get why the author explicitly mentions RFC 5424, then mentions:

...message packets are limited to 1024 bytes

linking to the older, RFC 3164 and not to RFC 5424[1] which states:

There is no upper limit per se. Each transport mapping defines the minimum maximum required message length support, and the minimum maximum MUST be at least 480 octets in length.

Servers like syslog-ng do support messages larger than > 1024 bytes.
