WARNING: inbound connection timed out (ORA-3136)
转载过一篇介绍这个问题的文章，参见：http://chinadm123.blog.51cto.com/3952657/1122160
检查数据库alert日志发现有warning：

WARNING: inbound connection timed out (ORA-3136)
根据上篇文章介绍，有三种主要因素会导致这个warning的出现：
- Server gets a connection request from a malicious client which is not supposed to connect to the database , in which case the error thrown is the correct behavior. You can get the client address for which the error was thrown via sqlnet log file.
- The server receives a valid client connection request but the client takes a long time to authenticate more than the default 60 seconds.
- The DB server is heavily loaded due to which it cannot finish the client logon within the timeout specified.
第1种可以通过sqlnet.log文件确定，第3种可以通过查看db server的load来确定。
下面再现第2种可能：
通过oracle 11gr2 client 连接db，然后故意输入错误的账号密码，等待60秒钟，检查alert日志文件就可以看到这种warning了。

我们发现，已经再现成功了。
为什么要等待60秒钟呢？
因为在sqlnet.ora文件中有一个默认的参数SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT来控制这个时间，如果没有显式的指定此参数，那么默认就是60秒钟。
如果不想在alert日志中收到这样的报错，可以设置SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=0.
下面是从网上搜索的关于SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT的介绍：
Question: What is the "sqlnet.inbound_connect_timeout" parameter and how do I use sqlnet.inbound_connect_timeout for logging off idle sessions?
Answer: The sqlnet.inbound_connect_timeout parameter is used to limit the time, set in seconds, for a client to connect with the database server and provide the required authentication information.
