+# LINKx (LNX) provider (Technology Preview)
+
+The LNX provider is designed to link two or more providers, allowing
+applications to seamlessly use multiple providers or NICs. This provider uses
+the libfabric peer infrastructure to aid in the use of the underlying providers.
+This version of the provider currently supports linking the libfabric
+shared memory provider for intra-node traffic and another provider for
+inter-node traffic. Future releases of the provider will allow linking any
+number of providers and provide the users with the ability to influence
+the way the providers are utilized for traffic load.
