You do need to handle connection loss in some way, which is never a concern with purely local channels. The middle level needs to detect a broken connection (as distinct from a full buffer on put or an empty one on take) and signal it somehow (OOB value, exception, put to a control channel, or etc., possibly after one or more automatic attempts to reestablish the connection in a manner transparent to the rest of the system).
