What would happen if I try to broadcast a transaction being funded by segwit outputs with a bitcoin unlimited node?

Segwit transaction format is unknown for BU nodes. The peer either drop the connection or even ban your IP address for a while.

Wouldn't it just see it as anyone can spend and broadcast it?Errol 2018-03-31T19:02:29.097

Segwit transactions in "old" format are non-standard and are not relayed by default clients. Segwit transactions in "new" format are invalid for non-segwit clientsamaclin 2018-03-31T19:43:45.547

There is no ban for sending non-standard transactions, AFAIK.Pieter Wuille 2018-04-01T02:42:47.003
