The unwritten rule for ip commands is that the show function
must format the output with same command syntax as the other commands set/add/delete.
Since there is no "af AF_INET" option to ip fou, this breaks that convention.
Either ignore the address family, change the add command, or output with same
syntax (-6); preferably the latter.
