This means that your client is fully connectable and can communicate with all other peers in the swarm.
A client that can't receive incoming connections are limited to only communicate with peers that are fully connectable.
However there is a exception, if there always is a h together with the I, then the client can only receive incoming connections via UDP hole-punching.
h= Peer connection established via UDP hole-punching
