Description

Existing documentation URL(s)

There seem to be two uses of Edge Server IP.

In Version Management, it seems to refer to Cloudflare's frontend, which can be used for staging (this makes more sense to me).
https://developers.cloudflare.com/version-management/reference/traffic-filters/

To send traffic to a specific environment, send requests to your zone that match the pattern specified in your filter. These could be characteristics such as Edge Server IP, Cookie, Hostname, or User Agent.

In Cloudflare Logs, it is referring to the backend IP address connecting to the origin server.
https://developers.cloudflare.com/logs/reference/log-fields/zone/http_requests/#edgeserverip

IP of the edge server making a request to the origin.

What changes are you suggesting?

I suggest using this term for the frontend connection. I understand this hasn't been the case historically.
