Sorry, this is not supported currently.   It is theoretically solvable if 
using QUIC, which has a separate connection identifier in each packet, but  
I don't think gRPC supports it yet.   File an issue on the GitHub tracker 
if you are interested in it.

It will take a while to realize the packets are not being responded to.  
You can set a keep alive timer on the channel to make sure you noticed 
within some time frame.

Not really, at least in the scope of this question.
