Yes, the UDP/TCP packets still have to go through the router/firewall even if they are on the same network segment and switch. The router/firewall acts as a gateway between different network segments and is responsible for routing traffic and enforcing security policies. Even if the destination device is on the same segment, the router/firewall may still need to inspect and filter packets based on its security policies.
