# ADDRESS

A network protocol address of the listener.

When a connection is made, the client and the listener are configured with identical protocol addresses. The client uses this address to send the connection request to a particular listener location, and the listener "listens" for requests on this address.

An example address is shown next:

       (address=
        (protocol=tcp)
        (host=sales-server)
        (port=1521))

The protocol parameters in the address are dependent on the protocol selected.
