Worth mentioning that links at home can use them too, jumbo frame support was rare at one point but now you can get them on really cheap basic switches if you're looking for it. Even incredibly cheap $30 (literally, that's what a 5 port UniFi flex mini lists for direct) switches support them now. Not just an exotic thing for data centers anymore, and it can cut down on overhead within a LAN particularly as you get into 10/25/40/100 Gbps stuff to your own NAS/SAN or whatever.
