• Trajectory sampling for direct traffic observation (2001, background): “In the case of MPLS, tunnels (label-switched paths) can be nested by prepending the packet with several stacked labels [ 28 ].”
• Practical network support for IP traceback (2000, background): “It would be possible to directly encode these values into an MPLS label stack [36], to enable traceback within a single homogeneous ISP network.”
