About API, why name it cloud filter instead of VxLAN?

VxLAN is just a kind tunnel type, there are another tunnel types based
on protocol type, they are below.
Tunnel Type:
* 0x0: VXLAN
* 0x1: NVGRE or other MAC in GRE
* 0x2: Geneve
  0x3: IP in GRE
Currently, I just implemented VxLAN tunnel type, and we will support
another tunnel types in cloud filter API later.

OK, I understand. But cloud filter is just a marketing name.
Please let's stick to technical and precise names.
It seems these tunnels are L2 over IP, right?
