You seem to contradict yourself. Run a sqlnet trace on level 16 on your client, notice the word 'redirected' in the trace, retract your statement and apologize. The listener is a broker only, actual communication will always take place on a *different* port. The listener port is not redirected but there is also no communication over the port.
