Could you please clarify for me which three IP addresses among the given set are considered private? I'm having some difficulty distinguishing them from the public ones. Could you possibly highlight the specific ranges or characteristics that identify a private IP address? Additionally, would you mind explaining the significance of private IP addresses and how they differ from public ones in terms of their usage and functionality within a network? Your expertise in this area would be greatly appreciated.
