So what you end up is L5 messages and L6 messages. We also have L4 messages, L3 messages and L2 messages further down the stack. The POSIX specification deliberately uses term "message" to reference all these types of messages. The idea being that socket API should be able to work on any particular layer of the stack (e.g. IP sockets vs. TCP sockets).
