Sorry to be nitpicky, but BMX6 is in fact a fork of batmand, the ancient 
(>5yrs) userspace, layer3 daemon, developed originally by some  of the 
current developers of batman-adv.

so, batmand is the common ancestor of bmx6 and batman-adv
batman-adv is a kernel module doing layer2 brouting magic
bmx6 is a userspace daemon doing layer3 routing wizardry

both of them show current, active development, and excel at their purpose.

cheers!
