5.7 Complete Architecture
Oracle Net provides an architectural solution that allows for greater scalability in Internet and intranet environments.
Figure 5-7 shows how multiple connections to an Oracle database server are made more scalable with Oracle Connection Manager and a shared server architecture. Oracle Connection Manager is used to offload some of the network I/O of the application web servers, and a shared server is used to serve more concurrent users.
