Unclassified RIPE
Summary
PayPoint
business retail uk
The AS handle PPN is held by PayPoint.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for PayPoint's retail payment and logistics network, evidenced by netnames
PPINFRAandPAYPOINT. - The AS announces 1536 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes with 4 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained corporate estate rather than a transit or large-scale access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of backend services and branch backhaul for PayPoint's in-store payment terminals and package collection points across the UK.
Notable
- Registrants align with the announcer, with most prefixes registered under
PPINFRAand one underPAYPOINT. - The inventory is finely subdivided into five small blocks, consistent with internal corporate segmentation for a retail network operator.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
5 upstream, 0 downstream and 5 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-14, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 455 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-11-14. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
