Could not WiFi be used as the second network port?   Of course one would
have to set up routing such that the dedicated PC <--> Mesa network was on
the Ethernet and the "default route" less the Mesa network was on WiFi.

One other idea is to use the Linux "tc" command to place Mesa-bound packets
to the top of the queue.  Then set the packet length low. But this only
works for PC to Meas packets

A managed switch with traffic shaping would be a solution too,  but
USB/Ethernet dongles cost under $20 and managed switches $200+
