Network Configuration: Listeners

The listener is a separate process that resides on the server. It receives incoming client connection requests and manages the traffic of these requests to the server. A listener is configured with one or more listening protocol addresses and service information about the target service. Protocol addresses are configured in the listener configuration file, listener.ora. Service information may or may not be configured in the listener.ora file.

For more information, see the Oracle Net Administrator's Guide.
