Why is it that when the load exceeds the network capacity delay tends to infinity?

As load exceeds network capacity, packets gets jammed at nodes. These packets never go forward unless load goes below network capacity. Hence when load exceeds network capacity delay tends to infinity. As load exceeds network capacity, packets gets jammed at nodes.
