AINA has divided up addresses into two parts : 

1.Private ip address

2.Public ip addresses 

Private ip address : used in private network like LAN/WAN for our private communication.Private ip address can not be used on internet.

Ranges :

.0.0.0 -...

..0.0 -...

..0.0 -...

Note: Private ip addresses are reusable because we can use same up addressing in two different LANs.

Example. Reliance and TATA  both can have same ip addresses like.0.0.0 -... in their office andit will not cause any problem .
