AWS EC2 - Will there be a network/connection failure while changing Elastic IP on the fly?

Question

If we dissociate the Elastic IP from a running EC2 instance and associate a new address while the processes in the instance are communicating to the internet, will there be an error in the existing connection?

My hunch is yes, but you can always test on another EC2 instance: cost $5 + 15 minutes.

If any application is consuming your services, they may become unusable. However new IP will accessible soon after assigning it.
