90.0.0.x is just _unassigned_ currently (it's reserved to IANA).
It is _not_ "guaranteed" to stay that way or "not to be routed".
The reference for networks "guaranteed" not to be routed (the
correct naming is "private networks"), is RFC 1918
(which obsoletes RFC 1597).
See http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/rfc/
For class A networks, the legal private network address is 10.x.y.z,
not 90 ...
