F20-LP: Yes
Rationale
For the selected direct IP forwarding composition, transit routers need routes and neighbor state, not an end-to-end connection entry per application flow. QUIC endpoint connection state is outside the transit role. No NAT, connection-tracking firewall or application relay is introduced by this credit; optional flow caches are not mandatory forwarding state.
