As a router manufacturer i can assure you that keeping detailed transfer records at today backbone's speeds is totally infeasible.
Why would it need to be done at the backbone? Isn't it possible to have a statistically valid sampling of packets even at the highest speeds? You'd know better than I would. I hope the answer is yes, because that is valuable data even if not used for billing. -- Shields, CrossLink.
