Hi,
Firewall filters provide a means of protecting your router (and switch) from excessive traffic transiting the router (and switch) to a network destination or destined for the Routing Engine. Firewall filters that control local packets can also protect your router (and switch) from external incidents. It filters traffic not the routes.
For more details, please refer to this documentation:
Guidelines for Configuring Firewall Filters
