Difference between "Router connected to cable modem" in home and "Router with OSPF/RIP/PIMSM"

What is the main difference between "Router with 40port Switch
connected (Linksys) to Cable modem in the Home" and "Router contains
OSPF, RIP and PIM-SM Protocols installed and 10-port switch ports as
well as 1GB Uplink port". The second one will be used where?. What is
the main diiference between functionality wise?. I need more detail
info. Thanks in advance.

Uh... maybe if you'd tell us what you're talking about, someone might be
more likely to help you.

Curious what this has to do with Linux & networking? Anyway you
should find good docs about $$ network equipment and what all
those abbreviations are about at cisco.com.

You didn't wanted us to do your homework?

Good luck
