Public vs. Private Addresses

• Three Host Categories
• Need Access within an enterprise (or subnet)
• Need limited access to external services on the
  net
• Need to be accessed globally (Servers)
• IANA have allocated 3 Private Address spaces
• 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

Summary

• Public IP addresses need to be globally unique.
• Private IP addresses are frequently used to
  expand the IP space. They are not approachable
  from outside the enterprise network.
• Internet enabled devices usually use private IP
  addresses.
• A Device Connectivity Server may be used to
  connect into a Private IP Space.
