ACK, not in LAN cards. However you can buy one box with SIP/ES20's
as VPLS hub, where you connect EoMPLS from different PE boxes and
if you have multiple hubs you full mesh them. Creating decent
experience of VPLS to end customers with fraction of the cost. 
If you have multiple VPLS hubs, you can even use backup tunnels
in case one hub breaks down.
