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.
