It's not that simple. You can send it in a UDP/IP packet, but you'll still need a MAC and a kind of state machine because you need to send several words over several clock cycles. Besides, if you don't know the destination MAC address you will need to generate an ARP request packet and wait for the reply before you can send the UDP packet.
