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.
