Three range of private IP addresses has been selected for the three network class.

For Class A network,10.0.0.0 -10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) range (For big network that requires a huge pool of16 million private IP addresses)

For Class B network,172.16.0.0 -172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) range (For medium-sized network that requires65000 private IP addresses)

For Class C network,192.168.0.0 -192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) range (Commonly used IP range on smaller network for easier addressing of254 IP addresses. May not necessarily be smaller network but network managed in smaller blocks.)

Hi,

 

The IPv4 has the following ranges reserved as private IPs (not routed to internet):

 

Calss A 10.X.X.X /8

Class B 172.16.X.X /12 to172.31.X.X /12

ClassC192.168.0.X /16 to192.168.255.X /16

 

Note that in IP6 the private IP called Unique IP, and there are ranges reserver for unique IPv6, the public IP in IP6 is called Global.
