Database clients sometimes have performance issues when interacting with the database over a network (LAN or WAN). You can use this parameter to enable clients to collect network statistics and periodically send them to the database, where the statistics are displayed in AWR and V$ views. These statistics include TCP and SQL*Net statistics. They complement existing database statistics and can be used to analyze, troubleshoot, and tune potential network performance or configuration issues.

Possible values:

  • TYPICAL

    This setting enables clients to collect network statistics and periodically send them to the database.

  • OFF

    This setting disables this feature. Clients will not send network statistics to the database.

When you modify this parameter, the new setting applies only to subsequent new connections to database clients.
