>From the recently-announced RFC 5737:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5737
The blocks 192.0.2.0/24 (TEST-NET-1), 198.51.100.0/24 (TEST-NET-2),
and 203.0.113.0/24 (TEST-NET-3) are provided for use in
documentation.
[...]
Addresses within the TEST-NET-1, TEST-NET-2, and TEST-NET-3 blocks
SHOULD NOT appear on the public Internet and are used without any
coordination with IANA or an Internet registry [RFC2050]. Network
operators SHOULD add these address blocks to the list of non-
routeable address spaces, and if packet filters are deployed, then
this address block SHOULD be added to packet filters.
These blocks are not for local use, and the filters may be used in
both local and public contexts.
