Subject: [LARTC] What determines DROP versus delay ("BACKLOG")?

HTB:

class htb 1:40 parent 1:1 leaf 40: prio 3 rate 358Kbit ceil 529Kbit \

I would like to increase "backlog" because I think that would decrease
"dropped".  23 packets of 1500 bytes each is only 34,500 bytes.  IMO,
there could be up to 64K bytes.

1) What determines backlog?
2) How can it be altered?
3) Am I on the right track here?
