try {<<"source-ip">>, longstr, <<"1.1.1.1">>}

i.e. table entries need to triples of key, type, value; keys should be 
binaries (the erlang amqp codec accepts strings too but please don't 
rely on that), the value type depends on the chosen type (binary for 
longstr, numbers for the various numeric types, etc). See 
http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-server/file/02567d68939f/src/rabbit_binary_generator.erl#l116 
for the full list.

Matthias.
