If I type 'ssh<tab><tab>' I get proposed tab completions of various
programs, all starting with ssh.
If I type 'ssh<space><tab><tab>' I get proposed IP addresses and host
names as arguments to ssh. The seem to be hosts on my local network,
hosts I have in ~/.ssh/config>, and some I don't recognize.
All these are provided by bash tab completion, provided bu the package
bash-completion, and you may search on that phrase for more
information.
