Google for RFC 1918. There are two other network ranges, one of which is |

The idea is that 192.168/24 gives you 256 class C addresses, then |

there's a class B address, can't remember what it is, and 10/8 is a |
12 |
class A address. |

All of these are defined as "not routeable over the public network", so |

any interface between two networks is supposed to drop any such packets. |
