Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They are unique, routed globally through border gateway protocol, and are called the global or WAN address. On the other hand, private IP addresses do not rout on the internet. Hence, they are also known as non-routable IP addresses.

Detailed explanation-2: -A global IP address is meant to be publicly accessible from the Internet. A local-scope IP address is not routable to the Internet. This means that if your device is assigned local-scope address, your device will not be able to access the Internet, however you will still be able to access campus network resources.

Private IP address spaces were originally defined to assist in delaying IPv4 address exhaustion. IP packets originating from or addressed to a private IP address cannot be routed through the public Internet.
