Current revision

Private internet addresses are often used on the LAN.

The allowed private IPv4 addresses are specified in rfc1918:

  • 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)

Note: Private ip addresses must be (source) translated (NATted, tcp, udp: PAT) to a public (=non-private) ip address (tcp: socket) before its payload can be send into the (public) internet.
