Optical Transport SDN by Peter Landon [APRICOT 2015]APNIC
This document discusses the benefits of optical transport SDN and OpenFlow control of optical networks. It argues that optical transport SDN multiplies the value of packet-only SDN by enabling automated service provisioning and flexibility. When the optical and packet layers share a common control plane, it reduces vendor lock-in. Use cases described include on-demand bandwidth provisioning between router ports, network slicing, and dynamically adjusting network adjacencies to support virtual machine migration or elephant flows across domains. Special considerations for OAM and protection switching in an SDN environment are also covered.

Italian wines have a long history dating back to ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Today, Italian wine production is regulated by a classification system with four main designations - DOCG, DOC, IGT, and Vino da Tavola. Italy has over 350 grape varieties used to make red and white wines across its 20 regions. Each region produces unique wines that reflect the local climate and grapes. The Italian winemaking process involves steps like harvesting, fermentation, aging, and bottling.

Brandy is a distilled spirit produced by fermenting and distilling wine. Cognac is a specific type of brandy produced in the Cognac region of France using double distillation in pot stills. Armagnac is another type of brandy from Gascony, France, produced using single continuous distillation. Other brandies can be made from various fruits like apples, peaches, or grapes and are often named after the base fruit. Brandy is aged in oak barrels which impacts its color, flavor, and aroma.
Wine is produced through the fermentation of grapes. There are different classifications of wine including by color (white, red, rosé), sweetness level, and aging. The fermentation process converts the sugars in grapes into alcohol and carbon dioxide through yeasts. White wines are often meant to be consumed young while red wines can be aged longer in barrels or bottles to develop further flavor characteristics.
Fortified wines are wines that have had brandy or alcohol added to them. This stops the fermentation process and results in wines that are both sweeter and stronger, typically containing around 20% alcohol by volume. There are several famous types of fortified wines including sherry, port, madeira, marsala, and malaga. Sherry is produced near Jerez, Spain using palomino grapes and follows the solera aging system. Port is produced in Douro Valley, Portugal using over 40 grape varieties and is fortified with grape spirits during fermentation. Madeira uses several grape varieties and is heated during aging, resulting in a distinctive caramel flavor. Marsala is produced in Sicily, Italy from local grape varieties
This family winery located in Rioja, Spain was founded in 1940 and is now run by the fourth generation of the family. They have 60 hectares of vineyards and produce 6 different Rioja wines ranging from a young red to crianzas and reservas. The wines have won numerous awards and medals in international competitions over the years.
Brandy is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented fruit juice, most commonly grapes. The fermented juice is distilled and then aged in oak barrels. There are three main categories of brandy based on the fruit used: grape brandy, fruit brandy from other fruits, and pomace brandy from grape skins and seeds. The aging process softens the brandy's flavor and changes its color and taste through interactions with the oak barrel and evaporation. Famous brandy-producing regions include Cognac, France.

1. Brandy is produced through a two-step distillation process of fermented fruit juice, typically grape wine. This separates the alcohol from the water for a higher alcohol content spirit.
2. Fine brandies are produced using small pot stills and double distillation, while mass-produced brandies use large column stills and fractional distillation.
3. Aging in oak barrels for several years further concentrates the flavors and aromas and is a key part of the production process for fine brandies like Cognac.

2. Presents:
Since 1949 the Marzadro Family produces Grappa in the village of Nogaredo near the feet of the Italian
Alps, a ten minute drive to Lake Garda. In 1959 the family started making liqueurs. By today the third
generation of Marzadro’s are working in a company that produces 135 different articles. The distillery
receives over 60.000 visitors per year, coming from all over the world.
The mass production of grappa starts after the Second World War when Italy is forced to export all of
its wine to pay its debts. Moral is low and the wine is gone; out of the recidu of the grapes a distillate is
being made and the production of grappa on a large scale begins. The atmosphere changes at the end
of the fifties and grappa is being looked upon as a product for peasants and which is hardly drinkable.
Marzadro responds to this by having grappa aged on wood and create their first liqueur: grappa with
berries in the bottle.
Blueberries in the bottle Aged Grappa
3. From the sixties onwards Marzadro keeps on developing its productlines and creates a number of
'classics' like the 'Marena', a red wine infused black cherry liqueur and the 'Olia del Garda', the only
olive infused liqueur in the world. Next to the Blueberry liqueur Marzadro has created over twelve more
fruit flavours like: Raspberries, Wild Strawberries, Melon, Vigs, Prunes, Honey and Apricot.
Next to extending its product lines, Marzadro also improved the quality of the alcohol. This starts with
the raw materials. Instead of saving up the residu of the winegrapes and distilling throughout the entire
year, Marzadro collects the marc every night and immediately starts the distillation. The distillation itself
therefore is only taking place during the harvest season.
The distillation process also has been modernized. In the past the alcohol was still being distilled using
coals and fire. Today the heating is regulated by using hot water, which gives a smoother alcohol.
The aging of grappa. The production of aged grappa only really takes it flight in the late fifties. There are
only 135 grappa distilleries in the world, out of which not more then ten distilleries produce aged grappa.
Marzadro not only uses a lot of different grapes, out of which it creates both single-grape as blended
grappa's, but it also uses different sorts of wood and barrel sizes to come to an unique selection.
4. Marzadro's Grappae
Le Diciotto Lune

10. Eleven steps to a Great Vodka
1. Quality of the grain
Standard grain based vodka is made from corn grains. These grains give a much harsher distillate
than the sweet rye grains from the Wielkopolska fields in Poland, which Pravda uses for its vodka.
The distillate from sweet rye, which is expensive to produce, delivers the smoothest alcohol for
the world's finest vodka.
2. Mountain spring water
The water used to make Pravda Vodka comes from natural springs in the Carpathian Mountains.
These springs are surrounded by a forest which extends for nine miles. Visitors are not permitted
so the water stays untouched and clean.
3. Water purification
No demineralization, the water stays full of minerals and is gently filtered through sand and stone. In this way only the heavy
heavy minerals get filtered out, leaving pure water full of character. This round and soft water makes out for 60% of the vodka,
perfect to blend with the smoothest alcohol.
4. Distilled five times
The spirits for Pravda Vodka are distilled in extremely tall columns. After the traditional three column process, the distillate
is brought down with another 40% in two high columns, eliminating impurities in the alcohol.
5. Magical distillation
After the five column distillation the alcohol is purified one more time in a copper still.
This ´magical´ distillation works through reaction with the copper and the very last impurities
left in the alcohol. Now you have the most pure alcohol in the world.
6. Blending
When water and alcohol are mixed to fast, a thermo-dynamic reaction breaks down the molecules in the water and at
the same time it also harshens the alcohol. So it takes two weeks to softly blend the water with the alcohol, another
step towards the world's finest vodka.

7. Charcoal filtration
The special charcoal Pravda uses is made from birchwood, grown in the forests of France and particularly well suited to take
out any impurities out of the water and alcohol mixture.
8. Double washing of the bottles
The bottles are washed twice before filling. First there is a hot wash with pure water and then
there is a cool wash with vodka. The bottles are totally sterile before filling them.
9. Bottling equipment
The machine pouring vodka into the bottles has a vacuum to prevent air from entering the bottles, as this would produce
oxidation. The bottles are sealed with special corks so no air comes through.
10. Laboratory testing
After the vodka is made, tests are made on each batch. Sophisticated equipment like
chromatographs are used to check the high quality of the vodka.
11. Organoleptic appraisal
After the laboratory testing, vodka experts compare each batch of Pravda to the prior batch.
Also comparisons are being made to other vodkas. This is how Pravda maintains its double
gold standing. It is the finest vodka in the world. If one out of eight tasters thinks it´s not perfect,
the vodka is destroyed. Only a perfect batch of Pravda finds its way to the market.

16. About iKi
The idea for iKi originated in a monastery in the Far
East. In the Asian-speaking regions the word and the
character iKi has 21 meanings. All these meanings
stand for”living positively”. This core value is carried
through into the brewing of iKi and this makes the
beer so special. The beer“lives”in the bottle because
it goes on fermenting after bottling. The flavour of the
beer continues to develop in the bottle. Despite the
Asian appearance of iKi it is a truly Dutch idea, brewed
in Belgium, and it always contains Asian ingredients.
The beer is brewed as beer, but from the very begin-
ning real Sencha green tea leaves are included in the
brewing process. Barley malt, hops and yeast are also
used to brew iKi beer. The result is a unique flavour.
You immediately taste its special qualities – it is
fresher, strongly individual, less bitter and has the fine
qualities of green tea.
Because only organic ingredients are used in the
brewing process, iKi is an organic beer and has SKAL
certification.
iKi is Fusion
Fusion. That is what iKi stands for. iKi is the founder of
fusion beer and it connects different worlds with each
other. The West and the East are interlinked through
the unique combination of Western brewing crafts-
manship and Asian ingredients, but also the fusion of
the Western way of enjoying life with the Asian aware-
ness of living in the moment. Experiencing the fusion
of taste – of drinking with eating, gives the iKi drinker
a new dimension in enjoying beer. Call it“trendy”,“hip”,
“a class apart”,“exotic”,“unforgettable”,“adventurous”,
“cult”,“terrace beer”or whatever you like, as long as
you take a moment to enjoy your iKi beer.
iKi with green tea and yuzu
The first variant of iKi is brewed with Sencha green tea
leaves and the Asian citrus fruit yuzu. Characteristic of
this delicious iKi combination is the fresh, light taste
of the beer with food such as chicken, sushi, tapas and
fish and chips with vinegar. iKi yuzu is a perfect aperitif
that you can drink at the beach, on your balcony, in
the garden, with friends or alone, whether the sun is
shining or not… iKi yuzu is the perfect beer for every
occasion.
Tip: Drink iKi yuzu refreshingly chilled, preferably
between 3 to 4 degrees Celsius. Then the flavour is
at its best. Enjoy the moment now.
iKi with green tea and ginger
The second variant of iKi is brewed with Sencha green
tea leaves and ginger. An amber-coloured beer with a
rich flavour. Perfect with meat dishes, although in Asia
it is usually drunk with fish and vegetarian dishes. iKi
ginger is a new taste to stimulate the senses. iKi ginger
blends well with every cuisine but it is also excellent for
cooking. We challenge you to try it!
Tip: The flavour of iKi ginger is at its best when drunk
between 6 and 8 degrees Celsius. Enjoy the
moment now.
