Yup, this is user-space to user-space (including the STP numbers :) ), 
except the MSG_TRUNC which makes the kernel skip the copy to userspace
on the receiver. Useless in real life, but nice for testing maximum 
transmission speed (since it shows how fast things would be if 
the receiver could keep up)
