The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Resilient overlay networks (2001, methodology): “(This is akin to the way packet forwarding works with MPLS [12].”
Hybrid SDN Networks: A Survey of Existing Approaches (2018, background): “Moreover, the Cisco report [29] considers the evolution of MPLS networks to MPLSDN hybrid networks that employ MPLS in conjunction with SDN. Turning to the network operator perspective, the report [30] sponsored by AT&T advocated hybrid SDN networks for cloud networks and big data applications.”
Routing, flow, and capacity design in communication and computer networks (2004, methodology): “Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) is a recent technique [DR00] to provide controlled traffic engineering for flow of packets for different service/user (traffic) classes in core IP networks.”
Provisioning a virtual private network: a network design problem for multicommodity flow (2001, background): “Also, MPLS (MultiProtocol Label Switching), which is emerging as a standard for setting up paths between pairs of terminals, is considerably simpliﬁed when trees are used, since fewer labels have to be used, and label stacks on packets are not as deep [6].”
