We prove the L2-convergence for the linear multiple ergodic averages of commuting transformations $T_{1}, \dots, T_{l}$, assuming that each map Ti and each pair TiTj-1 is ergodic for $i\neq j$. The limiting behavior of such averages is controlled by a particular factor, which is an inverse limit of nilsystems. As a corollary we show that the limiting behavior of linear multiple ergodic averages is the same for commuting transformations.
