Autonomous system
AS4057 DCS-ASN - Mechant's Choice Payment Solutions
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Paysafe Merchant Services
enterprise legacy
DCS-ASN is registered to Paysafe Merchant Services Inc, a payments company. The registry previously listed the holder as Merchant's Choice Payment Solutions, the merchant-services business that became part of Paysafe.
What it's used for
- A corporate network for a payments processor: internal systems and the customer-facing endpoints a merchant-services business needs to expose.
- The footprint is small (a few hundred IPv4 addresses), which is what a self-run enterprise network looks like next to an ISP or a host.
Notable
- This is an enterprise ASN, not a service provider one. The address space exists to serve the company's own systems rather than to be resold.
- The low number is not an early-internet artifact. ARIN registered this autnum to its current lineage in 2011, so AS4057 was reissued rather than held since the internet's first years.
Interesting
- Payment processors tend to run their own ASNs so they can multi-home and keep card-transaction paths under their own routing control rather than a single upstream's.

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: 453 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
