Hi all, when we talk about qos, is things like priority queing / and say prioritizing certain dscp traffic a different thing ?
also what is the difference between EF and AF ?
Many thanks
Carl
Can anyone tell me this ?

"Hi all, when we talk about qos, is things like priority queing / and say prioritizing certain dscp traffic a different thing ?"
Likely different, yes. Priority queuing (PQ) might be a reference to one of the QoS methods provided by Cisco on some of their equipment. See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk543/tk544/tk530/tsd_technology_support_sub-protocol_home.html. "prioritizing certain dscp traffic" would be a logical policy that could be implemented by one of several method, PQ being one, but so can CBWFQ prioritize DSCP marked traffic.
"also what is the difference between EF and AF ? "
Perhaps best explained by the RFCs that define them. See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2598.txt for EF and http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2597.txt for AFxy.

so depending on what dscp value there is depends what kind of queing mechanism is used ?
what is low latency queing ?
cheers

No, although DSCP markings are often used by QoS mechanisms.
"what is low latency queing ? "
Special class used within CBWFQ. Packets in that queue are all transmitted before all "normal" queue traffic. Note, LLQ has an implicit policer when there's congestion.
