Internet2 Commons: Real Time Communications Service

The Internet2 Commons provides Internet2 members with access to a variety of real-time communications (RTC) tools. Providers of RTC services from across the Internet2 member community are invited to participate and offer their services to Internet2 members. This service allows the Internet2 Commons to extend its service offerings and further promote and facilitate remote collaboration throughout the Internet2 research and education community.
