So I won’t forget: IPv4 private networks 10/8 (10.x.y.z), 172/12 (172.16-31.y.z), 192.168/16 (192.168.y.z) and 169.254/16 (169.254.y.z) (via: Private network – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

So I won’t forget: below are IPv4 private network ranges that you can use behind your router.
Private networks:
- 10/8
(10.x.y.z) - 172/12
(172.16-31.y.z) - 192.168/16
(192.168.y.z)
Link-local network:
- 169.254/16
(169.254.y.z)
Network you should not configure yourself:
I tried finding statistics on the actual use of private networks, but couldn’t.
This is from my own experience:
- Link-local is used when DHCP is not available.
- Lot’s of routers use 10.0.0.x, 192.168.0.0, 192.168.1.0.
- VMWare Workstation and VMWare Fusnion use 192.168.x.y.
