David, each guest uses a HiperSocket triplet, as does the bridge itself. There is no (effective) limit on the number of guests that can use the bridge. A maximum of 5 *bridges* can connect to the chpid, but you can have as many LPARs as you like. (Only one of the bridges is active at any one time.)
