The difference is in how sysklogd receives them and whether syslogd
stores the received messages in a file and which file. For syslogd,
those levels are "priority" values, read the manual pages you're
pointed to when running "rpm --query --docfiles sysklogd".

See the manual pages. You can forward to other syslogd servers
when you specifiy  @hostname  in the configuration file instead
of a local file name and provided that the remote syslogd
is listening to the network. For that you would need to complete
the options in /etc/sysconfig/syslog
