source routing

Specifies that all network routes are used. Source routing is typically in used environments where a large number of connections need to access the same service. Oracle Net offers a routing through Oracle Connection Manager.

The first network route specifies a protocol address for Oracle Connection Manager; the second network route specifies a protocol address for the listener. During a connection, the client connects first to the Oracle Connection Manager. The Oracle Connection then forwards the request to the listener.
