As usual i could not find the exact reference
NTL here the RFC for netlink: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3549

An here the structure of netlink packet (http://qos.ittc.ku.edu/netlink/html/node16.html)
I suspect that the 1024 originate from the packet. I remember only some ascii art
with this size, sorry

// structure of the netlink packet.
struct {
 struct nlmsghdr n;
 struct rtmsg r;
 char buf[1024]; } req;
