The `100.64.0.0/10` address block is **not** *private* address space; it is *shared* address space. This is spelled out in [RFC 6598, IANA-Reserved IPv4 Prefix for Shared Address Space][1] (I highlighted the relevant verbiage): > 1. Introduction > > IPv4 address space is nearly exhausted. However, ISPs must > continue to support IPv4 growth until IPv6 is fully deployed. To > that end, many ISPs will deploy a Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN) device, > such as that described in [[RFC6264][2]]. Because CGNs are used on > networks where public address space is expected, and currently > available private address space causes operational issues when used > in this context, ISPs require a new IPv4 /10 address block. This > address block will be called the "Shared Address Space" and will be > used to number the interfaces that connect CGN devices to Customer > Premises Equipment (CPE). > > Shared Address Space is similar to [[RFC1918][3]] private address space > in that it is not globally routable address space and can be used > by multiple pieces of equipment. ***However, Shared Address Space has > limitations in its use that the current [[RFC1918][3]] private address > space does not have. In particular, Shared Address Space can only > be used in Service Provider networks or on routing equipment that > is able to do address translation across router interfaces when the > addresses are identical on two different interfaces.*** > > This document requests the allocation of an IPv4 /10 address block > to be used as Shared Address Space. In conversations with many > ISPs, a /10 is the smallest block that will allow them to deploy > CGNs on a regional basis without requiring nested CGNs. For > instance, as described in [[ISP-SHARED-ADDR][4]], a /10 is sufficient to > service Points of Presence in the Tokyo area. > > This document details the allocation of an additional special-use > IPv4 address block and updates [[RFC5735][5]].
