No-- it's very probably not significant, given the amount of successful traffic going through.

Try looking at things like the ratio of transmitted bytes to retransmitted bytes, tcpAttemptFails, tcpListenDrop. This may not be where the source of the problem is, from what you've said, however-- it's more likely that enabling tracing and working at the Oracle level rather than at the physical network and TCP/IP layers will prove more useful.
