NI and SAProuter Implementation 

The following documentation gives a detailed technical description of the implementation of the SAP Network Interface (NI) and SAProuter.

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).
