  The logger version:
  ii  bsdutils                           1:2.20.1-5.1ubuntu20.7           ppc64el      Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite

  I do see it works on 14.04.3 :

  root at ubuntu:~# logger -n 127.0.0.1 "nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"

  root at ubuntu:~# cat /var/log/syslog
  Aug  2 06:25:02 ubuntu rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="7.4.4" x-pid="498" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] rsyslogd was HUPed
  Aug  2 06:25:35 ubuntu logger: nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

  However, on 16.04, 

  root at Ubuntu-16:~# logger -n 127.0.0.1 "nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"
  root at Ubuntu-16:~# logger -n 10.0.2.15 "nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"
  root at Ubuntu-16:~# find /var/log/ -name \* -type f | xargs grep "nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"
  root at Ubuntu-16:~# 

  Looks like this is a regression.
