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.
