To quote from RFC 1918:

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)
