Yes you will loose packets. The TCP connections on the ingress/front/top side will all be broken. Clients will need to reconnect to the new box. As mentioned, you can use connection mirroring, but that does not scale to heavy loads.
The Internet is unreliable by it's very nature, so clients should reconnect automatically. So it is seen as a momentary glitch that recovers very quickly.
