From "3.3. Assigning Private Network IP Addresses to the Internal LAN" at:

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/addressing-the-lan.html

Section 3: Private Address Space

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
following three blocks of the IP address space for private networks:

              10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255
              172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255
              192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255

We will refer to the first block as "24-bit block", the second as "20-bit 
block", and the third as "16-bit" block".  Note that the first block is 
nothing but a single class A network number, while the second block is a set 
of 16 continuous class B network numbers, and the third block is a set of 255 
continuous class C network numbers.
