Description
In IfaceWrapper there are configuration member fields that are set but never used.
- MTU (uses RTE_JUMBO definition instead): https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ADUNE-DAQ%2Fdpdklibs%20m_mtu&type=code
- m_with_flow: Flow control is set up regardless of the parameter: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ADUNE-DAQ%2Fdpdklibs+m_with_flow&type=code
This is a bug as the expected configuration is not matching the actual behavior.

Research direction
Start by locating IfaceWrapper and reviewing the m_mtu and m_with_flow references from the linked searches. Compare the configured values with the RTE_JUMBO definition and the flow-control setup; the work is done when configuration behavior matches the documented parameters and unused fields no longer mislead users.
