About this network

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, plus L3GW-2.hamburg-city.net gateways from its Hamburg metro network — and a lingering dialup-0800.ppp.net from 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.
