+/**
+ * A factory for {@link LoadBalancer2}s that uses the GRPCLB protocol.
+ *
+ * <p><strong>TECHNICAL PREVIEW: </strong>The name of this class is temporary. It will be renamed to
+ * {@code GrpclbLoadBalancerFactory} during <a href="https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/2656">
+ * transition to LBv2</a>. You should use it only if you want to experiment the LBv2 code path.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Experimental:</b>This only works with the GRPCLB load-balancer service, which is not
+ * available yet. Right now it's only good for internal testing.
