Hi Alex,
I'm not aware of such feature in ASR9k/XR.
Though thinking about it I'm not sure it's the right solution to your
problem. 

But that's just me I came to a conclusion (for now anyways) that I'd like my
traffic patterns to be predictable in all situations as that helps with
understanding what the network is doing and what the network is supposed to
be doing in various scenarios. And adding dynamic vectors like BW constrains
seem to overcomplicate things to the extreme. 
That said I'd use DiffServ rather than IntServ. 

But I'd love to hear convincing arguments for IntServ in MPLS backbone.
