AS4057 — DCS-ASN

AS4057 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

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.
