Abstract: We describe the interaction pattern in the x-y plane for a family of soliton solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation, (4ut+uxxx+6uux)x+3uyy=0. Those solutions also satisfy the finite Toda lattice hierarchy. We determine completely their asymptotic patterns for yopminfty, and we show that all the solutions (except the one-soliton solution) are of {it resonant} type, consisting of arbitrary numbers of line solitons in both aymptotics; that is, arbitrary N incoming solitons for yoinfty interact to form arbitrary N+ outgoing solitons for yoinfty. We also discuss the interaction process of those solitons, and show that the resonant interaction creates a {it web-like} structure having (N1)(N+1) holes.
