Isn't it the other way around, that originally --> was used but then IPv6
came and introduced -> which was copied around?
I like --> a bit better since it stands a bit more out.
E.g.
gre0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1476
index 6 priority 0 llprio 6
encap: vnetid none txprio payload rxprio packet
groups: gre
tunnel: inet 192.0.2.1 --> 198.51.100.1 ttl 64 nodf ecn
inet 172.16.0.1 --> 172.16.0.2 netmask 0xffff0000
inet6 fe80::c23f:d5ff:fe63:ffe3%gre0 --> prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6
inet6 2001:db8::1 --> 2001:db8::2 prefixlen 128
