Do you mean CFP (ICP are Internal Coupling Peer, which have no physical connection and are limited to within a single CEC)?
I believe the limitation is only that there can be only on CF accessed on each end of the CFP. Washington Systems Center published "zSeries Peer Mode Links" whitepaper in September of 2002. It should be available at the IBM pubs website. If you can not find it, email me and I will send you a copy.
