How does oracle assign ports to connections? I know the listener is assigned to a port - does all connections use this port for communication? I was looking into using connection manager to limit the number of ports that are assigned to user sessions, but it seems that all my connections are using the listener port? Is this the case? I thought the listener was the initial port of contact and then set up different available ports for post-initial sessions.

Using Oracle 8.1.6.

Thanks in advance for all your responses!!
