Sorry I find it in "man ipfw"
 
<MAN IPFW> 
     limit {src-addr | src-port | dst-addr | dst-port} N

     The firewall will only allow N connections with the same
set of parameters as specified in the rule.  One or more of
source and destination addresses and ports can be specified.
</MAN IPFW>

Too easy to believe ! Thanks for your work, and for the quality of the
documentation !
