Because you really don't want to run critical stuff through a switch using UDP. Much better, safer, and more assured of the packet arriving a the destination by using a direct connect with a crossover cable between the NIC and the Mesa card. No worries about network latencies, collisions and other problems between the computer and the device in question.
