Can I get TCP/IP packet before it was sent?

There is a client and a server applications running on the same machine. They use asynchronous communication with TcpClient and TcpListener.

Server application do some data processing in a background worker thread. Every time each data portion is processed it tries to send it using TcpListener if any client is connected to it and had sent request to fetch processed data portion.

Immediatly after BeginWrite function call server sets client flag to avoid to send new data until client will send another request. As request arrives in TcpClientDataReadAsyncCallback() a flag is set to the client so that background worker can send data to that client

Here is the log of the server and client

634538758557701309 numbers at the end of the lines are timestamps of the Request/Response objects to collate them in the logs

As you can see everything runs in due course until 191229 bytes object arrives before it was sent. Client does not send new request until response is recieved. I can not understand how that is possible.

It's entirely possible that it's an artifact of the logging. It could be some other thread interrupted your server thread after it sent the data but before it put the log down.
