No, since you're only allowed to use 192.168.0.0/16. The rest of
192.160.0.0/12 is publicly routable (and leased out) address space.

There are only three (3) ranged allotted in the RFC 1918 ("private")
address space:

- 10.0.0.0/8 (10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255)
- 172.16.0.0/12 (172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255)
- 192.168.0.0/16 (192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255)

The networks themselves (172.17 != 192.168 afterall ;), and total
available subnets (for example, there are only 256 /24s in
192.168.0.0/16 vs 4240 in 172.16.0.0.12).

Note that it is advisable to keep networks down to ABOUT 1000 hosts or
so (a /22), as network overhead can cause problems after that (although,
it also depends on how much actual traffic you need to move).
