<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets: </FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>We will refer to the first block as "24-bit block", the second as "20-bit block", and to the third as "16-bit" block. Note that (in pre-CIDR notation) the first block is nothing but a single class A network number, while the second block is a set of 16 contiguous class B network numbers, and third block is a set of 256 contiguous class C network numbers. </FONT></P>
