I haven't followed new features for two years, but I know that what
you are asking was not possible before that.

The two mechanisms that IOS has for tracking flow information
are Netflow, and "ip accounting". Neither one permited the stats
to be queried via SNMP. I seem to recall that "ip accounting" could
not be controlled via SNMP but that Netflow could be controlled via
SNMP (but control is not the same thing as exporting stats.)

IP accounting has been pollable from SNMP for at least ten years.
