When one of these "hick-ups" happen while I am streaming video from my Myth 
backend to my Myth frontend, it kills the playback, and I have to re-start 
it.  It takes 5 to 10 seconds before I can re-start the playback, but it does 
work without having to take any special action on my part.

So, to answer your question, yes traffic does flow afterwards.
