Brian, you may want to see if your routers support sFlow (vendors have added the feature over the last few years).

Why is this a solution, what does it solve for OP? Why is it
meaningful what the wire-format of the records are? I read OP's
question at a much higher level, about how to interact and reason
about data, rather than how to emit it.

Ultimately sFlow is a perfect subset of IPFIX, when you run IPFIX
without caching you get the functional equivalent of sFlow (there is
an IPFIX entity for emitting n bytes from frame as well as data).
