Restrictive relative pronoun 'as'

An advantage of VL2 is that, when inter-service communication is allowed, packets flow directly from a source to a destination, without being detoured to an IP gateway as is required to connect two VLANs.

Is 'as' in bold used as a relative pronoun and is an antecedent 'an IP gateway'?

Thank you in advance for your help.

'As' is not a relative pronoun.

Thank you, fivejedjon, for your answer.

Can I think 'as' is a conjunction and that 'it' is omitted by an imperative rule?

I'd say that 'as' is functioning as a conjunction in your sentence.

I don't know what you mean by 'imperative rule'.
