Explanation

Address Space Conservation: Private IP addresses allow organizations to conserve the limited supply of globally unique public IP addresses. By using private addresses internally, organizations can have numerous devices on their network without requiring a unique public IP address for each device. Enhanced Security: Private IP addresses provide an additional layer of security by keeping internal network devices hidden from direct exposure to the internet. This helps protect devices from unauthorized access and reduces the potential attack surface.
