+For 'classic' DPDK deployments (with one thread per core) the ``ring_mp_mc``
+mode is usually the most suitable and the fastest one. For overcommitted
+scenarios (multiple threads share same set of cores) the ``ring_mt_rts`` or
+``ring_mt_hts`` modes usually provide a better alternative.
 For more information about ``rte_ring`` structure, behaviour and available
 synchronisation modes please refer to: :doc:`../prog_guide/ring_lib`.
