Is a Tunnel the layer 3 equivalent of a Tap at layer 2 and vice-a-versa?

NB: I know the rudiments of what a tunnel and a tap is :) I'm asking if there's an underlying conceptual theme united the two things. They are both unidirectional in the sense of their respective layers right? ie, a tap is literally unidirection from output to source (or vice-a-versa) or it would be a reverse-tap? And a tunnel (conventionally) is one-way in the server-client sense?

Am I on the right track, or am I joining dots that shouldn't be joined?
