SIT, which stands for Simple Internet Transition, is an earlier name that can be seen in late 1994 drafts of the IPv6 transition mechanisms. The term was dropped in newer drafts but some systems still use it to refer to the tunneling mechanism, particularly Linux. SIT is not to be confused with SIIT, which is a translation mechanism.
