 2. Execute 2 collectors on another machine. (Suppose the ip of the first machine is 127.0.0.1).
     Here we use `alone` topology instead of `mesh` because the collectors do not need communicate with each other.
     Remember the `node_ids` cannot be duplicated with the learner, evaluator processes.
     And remember to set the `ports` (should not conflict with others) and `attach_to` parameters.
+    The value of the `attach_to` parameter should be obtained from the log of the
+    process started earlier (e.g. 'NNG listen on tcp://10.0.0.4:50515').
+

+We surpose there are N processes (workers) = 1 learner + 1 evaluator + (N-2) collectors
 
 ## First Example —— Execute on one machine with multi processes.
 
-Execute 4 processes with 1 learner + 1 evaluator + 2 actors
+Execute 4 processes with 1 learner + 1 evaluator + 2 collectors
 Remember to keep them connected by mesh to ensure that they can exchange information with each other.
