Narrative:
I was working are on east arrival. The ZME feed was extremely heavy and not as requested as per our runway acceptance rate. Aircraft were arriving into our airspace without coordination at the wrong altitudes. Numerous aircraft were stacked. I went into holding at 2 fixes to slow the traffic down. My concern was, aircraft at wrong altitudes, too many aircraft at once. It has been a big problem with memphis for a long time. Tmu at ZME has the thought or the practice to jam mem until we cut them off.
