163+ # LINKx (LNX) provider (Technology Preview)
164+
165+ The LNX provider is designed to link two or more providers, allowing
166+ applications to seamlessly use multiple providers or NICs. This provider uses
167+ the libfabric peer infrastructure to aid in the use of the underlying providers.
168+ This version of the provider currently supports linking the libfabric
169+ shared memory provider for intra-node traffic and another provider for
170+ inter-node traffic. Future releases of the provider will allow linking any
171+ number of providers and provide the users with the ability to influence
172+ the way the providers are utilized for traffic load.
