  Key Concepts: 
  Load balancing cookie is a feature of the SAP BC-JAS-WEB Web Container, HTTP, JavaMail, JSP, and Servlet components. It is used to distribute the load of incoming requests across multiple servers in a cluster. This ensures that the requests are evenly distributed and that no single server is overloaded. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the load balancing cookie feature, you must first configure the cluster of servers. This includes setting up the load balancing algorithm and configuring the cookie parameters. Once this is done, the load balancing cookie will be automatically generated and sent with each request. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring the load balancing cookie parameters, it is important to ensure that they are set correctly. This will ensure that the requests are distributed evenly across all servers in the cluster. Additionally, it is important to monitor the performance of each server in the cluster to ensure that no single server is overloaded.
