he primary purpose of Connection Manager is to centralize and automate the establishment and management of various kinds of network connections. Connection Manager can handle many types of connections including Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Remote Access Service (RAS) connections, VPN connections, and Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) adapters. It can also configure proxy server settings in applications that are capable of using them.
Connection Manager works by abstracting all connection knowledge from the applications themselves. It also auto-disconnects networks when idle for a specified time. This frees applications from having to deal with low-level connection issues.
