RFC 1918 is Address Allocation for Private Internets The internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets: 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) 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.

RFC 1918 has the rules and reasons for private network addressing. This type of addressing is typically used in a NAT/PAT setting for reusable addresses. Each IP class of addresses has a series of addresses that are marked "private" and are never seen on the internet.
