"Are networks behind NAT/ALG or that use RFC 1918 or the v6 equivalent
address space,
part of the 'Internet' or are they in networks where access to
addresses/service ports
must be explicitly granted?"


RFC4084 (Terminology for Describing Internet
Connectivity)<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4084>,
IMHO, does a decent job of trying to enumerate/unpack these kinds of
questions.
I'm sure it's not uncontroversial, but may provide some common vocabulary.
