Difference Between Private and Public IP Adresses

Private IP addresses are used for communication within a local network and have a limited scope, while public IP addresses provided by internet service providers are used for communication outside the network and have a global scope. Private IP addresses are free and controlled by the local network operator, while public IP addresses have a cost and are controlled by the internet service provider. The main private IP address ranges are 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255, and 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255.
