A user issued a connection request which was picked up by the listener on an Oracle Shared Server. The listener provided the user process with the address of an existing dispatcher process. What is the next step in this process?

After the listener hands off the dispatcher address, the user process connects directly to that dispatcher. The dispatcher is already running and handles multiple user connections. The dispatcher then places requests in the request queue, and a shared server process picks it up. The user never connects directly to the shared server process in this architecture.
