Is it possible to maintain a WebRTC connection after disconnecting from the internet after the signaling phase?

If a WebRTC connection is established between two peers on a local network, can we maintain it by losing our internet connection? This seems possible because it is equal.

Yes it is possible. Peers connect directly using a private IP address on the same network. They don't need to go through the public IP address, which would require the Internet.

Even after losing the Internet connection, the connection is maintained for a certain amount of time. I believe it might be some kind of socket timeout. A simple experiment at https://apprtc.appspot.com/ gave a timeout of about 15-20 seconds.
