How to cite the BATMAN routing protocol in a research paper?

Subject: How to cite the BATMAN routing protocol in a research paper?
Hi, I cannot find a proper citation for the BATMAN routing protocol. 
The citations I could find were:
> A. Neumann, C. Aichele, M. Lindner, and S. Wunderlich, “Better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking (B.A.T.M.A.N.)," IETF Draft, 2008 [Online]
> R. Sanchez-Iborra, M. -D. Cano and J. Garcia-Haro, "Performance Evaluation of BATMAN Routing Protocol for VoIP Services: A QoE Perspective," in IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, Sept. 2014
which are incomplete and outdated.
Is there any references I can use for citing BATMAN IV or BATMAN V in a research paper? It would help me a lot.

Best regards,
Liunian Bian

Hi Liunian Bian,

unfortunately we don't have a good way to cite batman-adv in a paper. What 
most people did is to cite the 2008 IETF draft (which is actually not supposed 
be cited) or refer to our website www.open-mesh.org/. Perhaps the best way is 
to cite both, referring to the website for up-to-date documentation.

Cheers,
       Simon
