F20-MT: Yes
Rationale
Ordinary forwarding uses destination/neighbor route hints and recent-packet duplicate/retry records, not an allocated entry for each final transport flow or circuit. This is not stateless forwarding: packet history and destination routes still consume resources.
Assessment method
Documentary and code analysis; no execution
Source context
Meshtastic official documentation / pinned firmware 8e6a88d
Outstanding qualification
Measure packet-history, retry and destination-cache state as flows and packet rate increase; no memory bound is certified.
