Yes it does, receiver side advertises window as 0 and persist timer kicks in. The send call then blocks until window recovers.

That's the problem when you don't really even have any congestion, but just very high packet loss caused by small buffers. Transfer rate drops to nothing.
With pause frames you can avoid that situation.
