TAF Failover issue when RAC node shutdown

Dear all,
We have a two-node RAC database. We use sqlplus from a client laptop to test RAC TAF failover when one node is being shutdown. And there's a tnsnames.ora file with TAF settings in the client laptop.

First we connect to RAC  database via sqlplus, when we are under the "SQL>" command prompt, we type " select instance_name from v$instance; " and we can see what instance we truely connect to. Then we shutdown the node we truely connect to; At the meanwhile, if we type "select instance_name from v$instance;" again right away, sometimes the sqlplus hangs and with no response; but if we wait utill the VIP failover to another node then type "select instance_name from v$instance;" we can see it always  show the other node's instance name and we know the session is successfully failover

Howdy, Stranger!
