The congestion control problem for TCP network systems with UDP flows is considered. A nonlinear TCP network model with strict-feedback structure is established. The unknown UDP flow is considered as the disturbance to the system, and the maximum UDP flow is calculated by using the minimax approach. And then, a congestion control algorithm is proposed by using backstepping approach. Further, a state-feedback congestion controller is presented to make the TCP networks asymptotically stable. The simulation results show the superiority and feasibility of the proposed method.
