awk Pattern Matching for PING tests

I have a script that logs into a server and pings several other servers in order to verify IP path between servers.

The output can look like this, if good pings:
Response from 1.1.1.4;_id=0, vlan_prio=0): seq=0 time=91.547 ms.
Response from 1.1.1.4;_id=0, vlan_prio=0): seq=1 time=61.176 ms.
Response from 1.1.1.4;_id=0, vlan_prio=0): seq=2 time=60.904 ms.

---- 1.1.1.4 ping statistics ----
3 packets sent, 3 responses received, 0% packet loss

or like so, if bad pings

Response from 1.1.1.4;_id=0, vlan_prio=0): seq=1 time=61.176 ms.

---- 1.1.1.4 ping statistics ----
3 packets sent, 1 responses received, 66% packet loss


I found a thread in this forum (now closed) that allowed for pattern matching on the "packet loss" and to print the previous line (so my log will show IP address as well as result, since this system doesn't include them on the same line.)

Code:
awk '/packet loss/{if (a && a !~ /packet loss/) print a; print} {a=$0}' log_ping.txt

(Thanks Marco!)Smilie

But I need an additional snippet in there somehow to EXCLUDE lines that show "0% packet loss"...i.e. only match on lines that show some kind of packet loss. Not 0% packet loss.

Thanks in advance!

NAME
aecho - send AppleTalk Echo Protocol packets to network hosts SYNOPSIS
aecho [ -c count ] ( address | nbpname ) DESCRIPTION
aecho repeatedly sends an Apple Echo Protocol (AEP) packet to the host specified by the given AppleTalk address or nbpname and reports whether a reply was received. Requests are sent at the rate of one per second. address is parsed by atalk_aton(3). nbpname is parsed by nbp_name(3). The nbp type defaults to `Workstation'. When aecho is terminated, it reports the number of packets sent, the number of responses received, and the percentage of packets lost. If any responses were received, the minimum, average, and maximum round trip times are reported. EXAMPLE
Check to see if a particular host is up and responding to AEP packets: example% aecho bloodsport 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=0. time=10. ms 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=1. time=10. ms 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=2. time=10. ms 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=3. time=10. ms 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=4. time=10. ms 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=5. time=9. ms ^C ----8195.13 AEP Statistics---- 6 packets sent, 6 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 9/9/10 OPTIONS
