With the caveat that the amount of traffic the application will send is known prior to the network being setup to service that level of traffic, yes. Try http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/Tech/mpls/mpls_techdoc.shtml This link shows how this can be done on Cisco networks by combining diff serv QoS and MPLS traffic engineering capabilities. This combination used to be called Guaranteed bandwidth services, but was changed to diff-serv aware traffic engineering. For this to work properly, a policer at ingress is necessary for the traffic eningeered tunnels to really function as you want.
