AFAIK the trouble with oracle's network protocol is that it opens arbitrary ports.

the server listens on the port that is configured in listener.ora (often 1526 or 1521). After a client connect another port is negotiated. you can
see that using a tool like "netstat".

Perhaps anyone does how this can be avoided or the range be pre-defined?
