New DB Connections Failing ?

Folks

In a NEW Setup, after about 700 database (dedicated server) Connections are spawned, New Connections via the Listener process to the RAC Database node from an Application server machine are FAILING.

Also Performance of Queries becomes very slow of already existing Connections to the Database.

NOTE - CPU Utilization of the DB & APP Servers is Low.

$ sqlplus <user>/<passwd>@<connect string> gives the Oracle Error ORA-12157 $ oerr ora 12157

12157, 00000, "TNS:internal network communication error"

// *Cause: Internal error during network communication.

// *Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn

// on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact

// Worldwide Customer Support.

On DB Server Node:-

$ netstat -a | grep <Port Num of Listener process> | wc -l

700

Qs 1 - Will adding a 2nd Listener process to each of the 2 RAC Nodes Help overcoming the NEW DB connections problem?

Thanks Indeed

Config:-

Oracle 10.2.0.2
