Subject: oom killer and long-waiting processes

Hi all,

        I have one question about oom killer:
If many processes dealing with network communications,
but due to bad network traffic, the processes have to wait
for a very long time. And meanwhile they may consume
some memeory separately for computation. The number
of such processes may be large.

        I wonder whether oom killer will kill these processes
when the system is under high pressure?

thanks,
