Why would you want to? What is your use case?

They route Layer III traffic over VPLS tunnels. If you do the same, you will also see “cool” MPLS labels on your traceroutes (if the OS supports it, of course). Most commonly in the MT world is to use VPLS for PPPoE (encapsulated) traffic, and therefore, the labels aren’t visible.
