No. It's not supposed to be the same.

udp really means ip, using the udp packet protocol while tcp, in the same
sense, means ip, using the tcp reliable streaming protocol.

msgMaxSize is the maximum message size that can be transmitted on a given
transport. For streaming protocols this is limitless which is what 0x7fffffff
indicates, while for packet based protocols the packet size sets a definite
upper limit.

That the streaming/packet oriented aspect has been mixed up with the transport
protocol aspect is probably just an accident.
