What is the difference between SCIM Core v2 and 1IM CFC?

Question

While using Sync Editor to create a project for cloud app, two options are available to connect cloud app "SCIM Core v2" and "One Identity Connector for Cloud". Both of the options would conform to SCIM v2 schema and protocol but what the difference is behind for the methods. Can someone provide some insight for that? Thanks!

SCIM Core v2 should be used for a connection to any SCIM 2 compliant server and support the core and the enterprise schema. 
 
One Identity Connect for Cloud has to be used for a connection to Connect for Cloud. The access schema is still SCIM 2 but has some minor adoptions.

Just to add on what Markus has provided....... 
 
We attempted to standardize on the SCIM v2.0 schema however, our team ran into issues relating to impedance mismatch on the paging of results. In short, it is difficult to implement SCIM “index and count” paging when underling protocols or data layers are already optimized for cursor-based paging. So whilst not pure SCIM we had to deviate slightly in order to get a working solution and that's why we had to introduce the "One Identity Connect for Cloud" template in addition to the "SCIM 2.0" template. This has allowed us to handle situations that are not yet available through SCIM standard (i.e. cursor paging, space for empty, etc.) We are working through the SCIM standards body to resolve these issues with a possible update to the SCIM standard coming in the future. 
 
Hope this helps,
