First, for these purposes, the OSI model really doesn't apply. Second, DNS has been researched for this purpose. Unless it's so redefined as to become something else, it won't work.

BGP plays a role in giving potential path information to RSVP, which does the actual path setup. The two protocols solve different, admittedly related, problems.
