thanks for your reply.

if dnsmasq assign/release internal ip addresses, then in busybox what is the purpose of this file(root/networking/udhcp/dhcpd.c) in trunk source . i find DHCPOFFER, DHCPRELEASE DHCPDECLINE and leases cases in it.
is dhcpd.c /dhcpc.c in busybox is being used for rexternel ip assignment (WAN)?

The discussion might have continued from here.
