Hi, Short answer: Shared networks let you create a manageable DMZ so to speak between domains.
If you have a multiple domains that need inter-guest communication without going over the public web. Another use is that shared can be tagged or untagged letting you connect hardware into your networks. Another use is to add direct public access to a guest in advanced networking enabling the VM to bypass the VR The list of uses goes on, but I figure you have the picture :).
