TCP with Nagle algorithm enabled will not hold data infinitely. In fact, it
only waits for a few tenths of a second, hoping there would be more data to
send. If not, whatever it has is sent away.
What your dumps show is a window announcement of size 0, which means there
was a lot of data successfully received by TCP stack, but never read from
socket, and this happens in both directions. You may want to check why you
processes stop issuing read/recv calls.
