We do a need a name. "combined L2/L3" service seems about right to me.

Right. We need a clear definition of what this means as a service
(i.e., facing the Tenant). How one implements it is a secondary discussion.

Is it enough to say something like:

  If the packet is IP, it's treated as an L3 packet requiring L3
  service.

  If it's a non-IP packet (except for things like ARP), it gets
  treated as an L2 packet to be processed using L2 service semantics.

Can it be that simple?
