    • are we conflating a contact with a connection?
    • what if we receive a message from a did we've never seen before?
      • configuration to allow/disallow certain messages? → simple default behaviour
      • create dynamic connection?
      • allow application layer to decide whether the message is accepted, or discard the message → more complex custom behaviour
