  Here is an excerpt from section 3:

     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 prefix)

] network numbers that are considered "safe" (no-one should be routing them)
] to use as test/intranet/private IP networks?
