Hello,

Use help.sap.com and you should be able to find lots of information.

SAProuter is an SAP program that acts as an intermediate station (proxy) in a network connection between SAP Systems, or between SAP Systems and external networks. SAProuter controls the access to your network (application level gateway), and, as such, is a useful enhancement to an existing firewall system (port filter).

Figuratively, the firewall forms an impenetrable “wall” around your network. However, since particular types of connections need to penetrate this wall, a “hole” has to be made in the firewall. SAProuter assumes the control of this hole.

In short, SAProuter provides you with the means of controlling access to your SAP system.

Got this information from the link below:

The SAPRouter is not required to connect to the application servers. One of the primary reasons for using SAProuter is to setup the SNC secured link between the SAP systems and SAP Support.

Hope that helps.
