Tnsping Vs ping

741780Jul 12 2011 — edited Jul 13 2011
Hi All,

I am trying to tnsping to database and at the same time doing the ping to remote server from the same host. I just failed to understand that, why there is a difference between responce times of ping and tnsping? I would appriciate, if someone could explain this in great detail.
