Thanks for the pointers and suggestions!Now I know I'm pushing my luck... but do certain vendors more fully embrace sFlow than others? maybe one of the whitebox vendors if not one of the majors?
Hacking support into something isn't the worse thing in the world, but if there is any experience on this to leverage off of, that is helpful.

RFC5472 Section 4.2 Using IPFIX for Billing (Reliability Limitations) might be applicable to sFlow as well. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5472#section-4.2 Yang
