No this is related to a Opensips,SIP server. – user973430 Sep 30 '11 at 16:19

If it's not programming related, you shouldn't post it here. There are other sites that would be more suitable, for example serverfault or superuser. – Mark Byers Sep 30 '11 at 19:12

Yes, because the value shown is the percentage of physical memory excluding swap, but a program can use more than this if it also uses swap.

But if the system is not swapping then i guess more than 100% value in %MEM is impossible. Am i right? – user973430 Sep 30 '11 at 16:10
