+and can be selected via mempool ops API:
+
+- ``ring_mp_mc``
+
+  Underlying **rte_ring** operates in multi-thread producer,
+  multi-thread consumer sync mode.
+
+- ``ring_sp_sc``
+
+  Underlying **rte_ring** operates in single-thread producer,
+  single-thread consumer sync mode.
+
+- ``ring_sp_mc``
+
+  Underlying **rte_ring** operates in single-thread producer,
+  multi-thread consumer sync mode.
+
+- ``ring_mp_sc``
+
