Counts the total number of IP datagram fragments generated as a result of fragmentation performed at this device. Read alongside ipFragOKs, this tells you the fan-out cost of fragmentation; if a modest number of ipFragOKs datagrams is producing a very large ipFragCreates count, each original packet is being split into many small fragments, multiplying per-packet processing overhead on the gateway. Example: ipFragCreates rising ten-fold faster than ipFragOKs indicates unusually small fragment sizes are being produced, consistent with an interface configured with a low MTU somewhere downstream.
