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.
