Summary
PPP Internetdienstleistungen GmbH
isp enterprise hosting legacy
PPP Internetdienstleistungen GmbH (PPP-AS) is a Hamburg-based business ISP, trading as Pelikan & Partner and registered in Hamburg since 1996. The PPP in the handle is the company's initials, not the point-to-point protocol.
What it's used for
- Corporate internet access (VDSL, fibre, fixed wireless), VoIP telephony, hosting and domain/mail services for businesses in and around Hamburg — electronics firms, banks, media, logistics, shipbrokers, hotels.
- Just under 9,000 IPv4 addresses across four prefixes, dominated by one contiguous
212.18.64.0/19. rDNS is first-party:core.ppp.net,r0.wd.ppp.net,wwwlan.ppp.de, plusL3GW-2.hamburg-city.netgateways from its Hamburg metro network — and a lingeringdialup-0800.ppp.netfrom the modem era.
Notable
- Small address count but 23 observed BGP neighbours: a well-connected regional provider that peers at the Hamburg exchange rather than a network sized by its address holdings.
- The customer base is explicitly B2B. There are no dynamic, PPPoE or DSL-subscriber pools in the space, so this is enterprise/hosting address space, not eyeball space, despite being an ISP.
- No IPv6 is announced from this AS.

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: 442 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
