SAP router is an SAP program that can protect your SAP network against unauthorized access. It is a stand-alone program that is normally installed on the system with the firewall. 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).

SAProuter only allows a network to be accessed from fixed points. The number of access points (“holes”) is therefore reduced, since fewer direct lines are required for connections. Each 'hole' is guarded by an SAProuter whose route permission table determines the routes that can be used and the necessary passwords for gaining access.

The hole in the firewall is therefore monitored. Without SAProuter, the IP addresses must be unique. This is not always possible, particularly in the case of a connection between two networks that do not normally have an external connection. SAProuter enables two points with identical IP addresses to be connected. For 3000 users we estimate six SAProuter processes (set Option -C to 1000).

Each of these processes requires 4.5 MB of memory, and 9% of a two-way HTT 3 GHz CPU, if you assume one third of the CPU workload is for the users and two thirds for the system. The six SAProuter processes together require approximately 30 MB and 55% of the CPU. Sometimes it takes a few seconds to determine the host name from the IP address (reverse lookup), and during this time the process is blocked. The cause is usually an error in the DNS configuration. Users will notice these delays particularly if the workload on the SAProuter is large.
