I have recently noticed in this one situation that there is a great difference between a tnsping vs a regular ping to the same server.
for example this tnsping took about 270 ms which is strange and its consistent
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADD
RESS_LIST = (load_balance = on) (failover = on) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST
= myhost1.com)(PORT = 1521)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost2.com)(
PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = xyzdb) (FAILOVER_MODE = (TYPE
= SELECT) (METHOD = BASIC) (RETRIES = 20) (DELAY = 15))))
OK (270 msec)
and a ping to the same host
Ping statistics for x.x.x.x:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 61ms, Maximum = 70ms, Average = 67ms
Why could there be such a difference?
