• Control and log connections to your SAP system
• Create an indirect connection, if the programs involved in
the connection cannot be reached directly due to the network

• Improve network security by:
– Protecting your SAProuter with a password against
unauthorized external accesses
– Only allowing access from certain SAProuters
– Only permitting the user of secure connections from a securely
authenticated partner (SNC)
• Improve performance and stability by reducing the SAP system
workload within a LAN during communication with a WAN

3299). For more detailed information about the use of SAProuter, see SAP
