Abstract:	Recently, a state-dependent change of measure for simulating overflows in the two-node tandem queue was proposed by Dupuis et al. (Ann. Appl. Probab. 17(4):1306–1346, 2007), together with a proof of its asymptotic optimality. In the present paper, we present an alternative, shorter and simpler proof. As a side result, we obtain interpretations for several of the quantities involved in the change of measure in terms of likelihood ratios.
