1. A method, comprising:
storing, by a first device in a mesh network, stored connection state information associated with an outgoing communication transmitted by the first device, the stored connection state information indicating a first source address and a first destination address;
determining, by the first device, observed connection state information based at least in part on receiving an incoming communication from a second device in the mesh network, the observed connection state information indicating a second source address and a second destination address;
determining, by the first device, whether the second device is permitted to transmit initiation communications to the first device;
selectively comparing, by the first device based at least in part on determining whether the second device is permitted to transmit the initiation communications to the first device, the observed connection state information with the stored connection state information to determine whether the incoming communication is an initiation communication or a response communication; and
selectively processing, by the first device, the incoming communication based at least in part on determining whether the incoming communication is an initiation communication or a response communication.
