Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated from the Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks.
Table 16 Private IP Address Ranges
10.0.0.0- 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0- 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
