cpd timer and holdtime

[SJ K]

Hi all,

As per mentioned by cisco below ->

2. Specify the amount of time a receiving device retains the CDP information sent by the CSS (time-to-live information) before discarding this information.

(config)# cdp holdTime 255

3. Specify the frequency at which the CSS transmits CDP packets to all receiving CDP-compatible devices.

(config)# cdp timer 120

Is there any ambiguity if the timer is set at 120 sec and the hold time is 255 ? Meaning if i send information at 0,120,240sec interval. The receiving device should hold the "0th" second information for 255 sec ? but what if at the 120th sec, the sending device sends again. What should happen at the receiving  ?
