Rajeev,

latency is not very high ...
64 bytes from 172.23.xx.xxx: icmp_seq=1 ttl=251 time=22 ms .

The SRL problem got solved when I noticed that the remote database was NOT
in archive log mode. Once I bounced  the  standby database in archive log
mode , the SRLs began to be used. But a strange observation is that of the 5
SRLs , only 2 SRLs are being used, irrespective of which ORL is in use on
the primary.

This issue is similar to the one discussed in Carel's mail. I havnt been
able to solve that issue till now.
