    In fact, no, it does not have to be.
    The next-hop address in the route is used to resolve the L2
    details. You don't need them for a p2p link, and hence it
    does not matter whether you have the next-hop address for
    a route through it or not.

    What a router uses as the source/dest address when sending
    packets through an unnumbered link is actually an orthogonal
    issue.
