Also, there are ranges reserved for other things, like 44.0.0.0/8 is all reserved as a HAM to IP gateway for packet radio data or email.

i was like simplyfing things a bit to much since home routers generally use the 192.168.1.x range...i do know about the others(work for a major linux company, backliner, but not in a linux team), it's just that they don't have much meaning to the average home user...it was a poor explanation, i agree
