I also had this long time ago. Had a tiny webapp doing in the order of
15-30 connections/sec (small rate, yes), but just to make some weird
checking for "select sysdate from dual".
Have talked to the developer, they checked out, and "magically" the
chatty
webapp calls disappeared. It was very useful to setup a trace to just
show
to the developer (really, she almost forgot about that tiny app) the
traffic they were generating and the listener log file size they were
inflating alone.
Have you checked the listener statistics for dropped connections? are
you using MTS?
