IANA (the Internet Assigned Number Authority), defined blocks of
IP addresses for private purposes:
Class From
Type
A 10.0.0.0
B 172.16.0.0
C 192.168.0.0
A Public IP address is an officially assigned IP address by an
Internet Registry and is guaranteed to be worldwide unique.
As a consequence the PC to which the address is assigned, has
worldwide Internet connectivity.
Public IP addresses are used by PC(s) that need global
connectivity, outside the enterprise, and/or with the Internet;
therefore these PC(s) require public IP addresses to be globally
unique.
You may not assign Public IP addresses yourself. If you need a
Public IP address or block of IP addresses, contact your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
The ISP must in turn contact its upstream registry, or his
appropriate regional registry, e.g.: the American Registry for
Internet Numbers (ARIN) (http://www.arin.net).
