Just to supply a little more information: There are 3 ranges of
private IP address, and recommended use is documented in RFC 1918.
The address ranges are
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)
... where (according to pre-CIDR) 10. would be viewed as a single
A-net, 172.16 would be viewed as a set of B-nets, and 192.168 would be
viewed as a set of C-nets.
The non-CIDR view is outdated, but may be necessary to work with
ancient equipment.
